Monday's POTD

I had a dilemma for Monday's Picture of the Day.  I had two pictures that I was torn between posting.

This picture of Greg with the disassembled dash of my car....cool pic.

or this picture that I took of a vehicle I saw at the gas station yesterday...

What is this called? A Lincoln Limo 4x4? (seen in Apache Junction, for those wondering)

Today. Nothing Special.

Nothing special today.  Just a few pics of Nathan and I eating our donuts at the park. Our little custom on Sunday mornings before church.

Can you believe this? Nathan took this picture of me.  Rule of thirds.  This kid is something else.

Homes of Hope Car Wash

Who sacrifices a Saturday to wash cars in 108 degree weather?  We do.  Our fundraiser car wash was  today  and despite the raging heat, no one passed out or threw up.  I classify this as a success.  We started about 8:30am and wrapped up about 12:30, in that timeframe about 16 or so cars were washed.  We accepted any cash donation for the car washes and at the end of the day we raised $155.00.

Some pictures...

Here I am working my corner...hahaha!!

Fired up the Grill

Greg completed a fantastic landing pad for the grill to sit on so after a 2 year hiatus, we finally fired up the grill!  We had barbecue pork shoulder something, I thought it was ribs but that's another story... 

Making Signs

Making car wash signs for Saturday's fundraiser, 2 down, 3 to go!

We take Cash!

We sold the Honda Pilot to a lovely couple from Prescott.  They drove in this afternoon, checked out the car and bought it. It was a close call though. The couple actually looked at someone else's Pilot and offered to buy it but, get this...the sellers didn't want to take Cash.  Uh. Ok.

I will grant you this.  In our day and age, who pays Cash for anything right?  I once used my debit card to buy .88 cents worth of stamps. I never have Cash, but I certainly don't have anything against Cash!  I love Cash -  I wish I had more of it!  hahaha!

Needless to say, when it was time to sell the car...WE TAKE CASH! And the car is now sold.

I have to say though that I have immense respect for this couple who bought our car in full with Cash.  It's admirable.  I wish I were more self disciplined to live like that - except that I'm not.

By the way, the Cash has since been deposited in the bank, just in case you were thinking of breaking in tonight.  :o)

July 4th Festivities

On July 4th we hung out at the Dercks, celebrated Norton/Strother birthdays and ate like gluttons.  It was a good day.

I wanted to see if I could fit in Nathan's little boat...sorda. hahaha!

 Nathan is getting very comfortable with in the pool, here he is jumping in with reckless abandon. I love these shots of Nathan air-borne, just plain fun.

Here's a video of Nathan jumping:


Here's a video of Nathan going under water:


For some reason this next picture is just uber cool to me. It has that artistic element to it, of course it wasn't anything I planned -  it just happened.  This is one of my new favorites, as in frame-able.  :o)

Keeping the momentum up. ;o)
