We Picked Up Our "New" Car Today!

Okay, it is a big day for the Hoslers!  We have been driving our 2001 Honda CRV since it was "born" and today it got a "sister", a 2014 CRV!  Wow, 13 years can make a big difference in a car!  The updated electronic features are incredible!  I don't think we had any idea of what we were missing!  Our son-in-law Bob knew.  He drove our 2001 CRV recently and said it was liking riding on a lawn mower!  Really??????

Anyway, Ken was up early for an 8:30 appointment with our accountant to file our income tax.  From there he did many errands, including getting some new shoes for hiking out west, stopping at a local camera shop to see if his old camera could be fixed (probably not), and having lunch with Kevin.

I kept busy at home working on my computer.  I was downloading photos and then ordering prints on-line from Costco (all of them needed to be cropped or "fixed") and then starting creating pages for Katelyn's 12 x 12 album for the last year.  (Birthday to birthday)  

Ken got home at 1:30 and we left for Costco.  From there we headed to Jones Honda to pick up our "new" car.  All went well and we were on our way by 5:00. They were able to process everything so that we had our permanent license plate and owners card when we left.  That is so helpful for us travelers!

I talked to Lanie and Jamie when we got home.  While we were at Lanie and Bob's yesterday, Sam had tried to "fly" off the 3rd step on their stairway and Bob decided he would see if it was safe for her to try to fly from the 4th step.  Not a good idea!  He landed rather hard on his heel and it really bothered him last night.  When he got up this morning, he couldn't put any weight on it!  So he had an x-ray and then an MRI and they discovered it was severely bruised and he needed to ice it, take an anti-inflammatory, and try to keep weight off it for the next 2 or 3 days.  Wow, all that for trying to fly.  We need to keep that guy grounded!!!

Jamie is having an emotional time with Bria.  She is not liking school, feels she has very few friends, etc.  It is a tough time for both mother and daughter so I tried to give her some moral support and reassurance that she is a great mother and all mothers have days when they doubt their abilities and carry a lot of guilt.  I remember it well.  I hope I was helpful!

We watched The Voice and I worked on Katelyn's album and the blog!

Can't believe we are a 2 car household again!  It feels right!
