We have been quite busy this summer and I have not kept up with this blog very much. I also started up on facebook and got involved in getting reacquainted with old friends. I will start to post in here again if I get any indication that anyone looks at this.

Later,

Oh Oh!!!

Well, Ashley was driving, she had a car accident on September 18th. Now the family is busy trying to repair a 2002 VW Beetle that rear ended a suburban with a trailer hitch. What a mess!! We are certainly thankful for air bags and seat belts, because Ashley was not hurt at all!! Needless to say, the suburban was able to drive away. We have most of our winterizing chores done and now are really beginning to work on the car. As you can see in the pictures, the trailer hitch on the suburban rammed into the section to the right of the motor. Luckily, the motor was not hurt much - there is a small crack in the intake manifold, which we are hoping can be TIG welded. We have started the tear down and determination of what all needs to be replaced. So far we have quite a list - the front body, AC condenser, power steering fluid resevoir, coolant pipe and flange, ignition coil and wiring, headlights, etc. What a project!!
