all kinds of wheels

 I finally have the pleasure to announce that the Mouse got his driving permit!

It took him a few years to accept that I meant what I said about good grades and would not cave in.

So I'm proud of him for dealing with it, and proud of him for his terrific grades.....

..... and SUPER proud of him for being such an awesome driver! Ten and two baby!

 Yeah, I could really get used to being chauffeured around.....

..... especially when it includes the Jimmy Dean's Drive-Thru :D

In other Mouse news, I completely forgot to mention he got a dirt bike for his birthday last month.

The thing is a BEAST and it scares me.

And one more news flash of Mouse news, he and Tom had a little..... mishap, you might say.

You can see by it's roll bars that it's now a little, shall we say, wonky.

More directly, THEY ROLLED THE DUNE BUGGY W/O HELMETS ON and are lucky they only lost flesh!

This would have been the gash out of Tom's head.

They had just barely put the roll bar back on.

Boys...... sigh :/

heartache

We had a rough weekend. There's really no other way to say it. Watching some dear friends go through tragedy and loss as the result of a terrible car accident. No one's fault, just a fluke at the end of an amazing day. And then feeling helpless, our hearts breaking for our friends. And yet... and yet... witnessing a miracle as a sweet, special girl visiting from all the way across the pond, who should not have survived that accident... did. And as seriously injured as she is... continues to improve. Someone is watching over these good people. Someone is sending their blessings of comfort and peace. Our love and prayers are constantly with you, our dear friends - you know who you are  ❤  

I know when you see this posted here, you may think it strange after what I have just explained. But I received this from my friend Wendy over the weekend and it was the first thing that made me smile and warmed my heart. It's silly and funny, yes, but most of all it's heartwarming and sweet. And besides, the orangutan reminds me of Davy :)
