We Are Family!

We celebrated my Gram's 90th birthday on July 1st in Drumheller.  She now has 90 descendants, so we had a family reunion and 55 of us were able to attend.  The finale was the float in the parade.  We won 1st place in the "Antiques" category!  We all got a chuckle over that.  After all, Gram is a REAL antique!  Geoff pulled us along in his truck, and Dad and Aunt Pat entertained with their music.  It was a wonderful day to celebrate the life and example of our dear Mom, Gram, GG or Triple G.  We love her.

This is my car.  I spent most of the day in it today.  I love this car.  It is great.  Comfortable. The problem is that it has quite an appetite.  I am down to my last quarter of a tank, and I know it is going to cost more than a hundred dollars to fill it up again.  My heart sank when I saw the price today--$1.29.9/litre.  

We have a dilemna; I know I drive a "guzzler", but it is paid for.  I think I really need a "sipper", but that would mean searching for the right new car, most likely having to make payments again, and then the whole ordeal of selling a car.  Do I really want to do that?  Do I really want to spend all my money "feeding" the car rather than the family?   For now, I think we'll keep her.

But this one might be kinda fun...

The finished Product.

I just realized today that I had never posted pictures of our finished renos.   I am posting pictures of the basement main room and bedroom, and also the kitchen.
