Vroom Vroom!

We are extremely fortunate that we live in a neighborhood where a good number of our friends live. I am very thankful that we have such great friends in such close proximity. Our Whispy friends have been there for us in so many ways and we hold all of them very close to our hearts.

Most of you know that my husband, Mike, is a golfer and he also loves a good game of poker...both of which he does in our own neighborhood with his buddies. Basically, the guys swap money back and forth from week to week because one week will be a winning week for some of them and the next will be a losing week. Either way, they usually don't get in to too much trouble one way or the other...at least that what Mike tells me :) The deal lately is that when he wins, he puts money in Landry's piggy bank. We decided we would buy her a car (if she deserves one)when she is old enough. At seven weeks old, she already has $130 in her piggy bank. Someone needs to get this kid a financial planner! I figured at that rate, she should have enough for a Bentley or at the very least, a nice Mercedes....yeah right! I think she will be getting a PRE-LOVED, safe, econimical, not-too-flashy, point A to point B kind of car. My first car..which I bought with my own money while I was in college...was a 1982 Ford Tempo for $1950. It was a stripped down former Govenment vehicle that had holes in the dash from some equipment that was mounted on it at one time. It was NIIIICE!(There was NO sarcasm there at all!!) There are some GREAT stories about that car. Oh the memories :)........I guess we all have first car stories don't we?
