Beautiful Weekend

So Kevin & I took off work on Friday and went to a few "junk yards" looking for a car part to fix our 87 Honda Accord. We found one, but then we didn't end up needing it, so we took it back and got most of our back because the guy kept $5 of it for taking it off the other car. Kevin got a sweet deal on another brand new part from Checker Auto parts. We also found a new door handle for our 93 Honda at a different junk yard. That was an awesome find! It's not the maroon color of our interior, it's black, but it opens the door, which is what we needed. It had crack in half and we were worried that one of these days we weren't going to be able to get out of the car. LOL. Kevin's brother Jeff came up late Friday night and they worked on the car Saturday morning. Got it done under two hours. We've been driving it and it works great. THANKS JEFF!!!! And a special thank you to Barbara for letting Jeff come out. We treated Jeff to lunch and he then was on his way home by 2pm. Oh! Apparently one of our neighbor's used to be Jeff's roommate when they went to school in Pocatello. Small world! So they chatted for a while and exchanged information. Sunday, totally lazy day. I watched two movies and some car racing on TV. Kevin worked on the computer most of the evening. Friday after car part "shopping" we went and played wiffle ball & catch at a ball field near by then went to the gym. It was a good weekend. I got mopping & vacuuming done Saturday while the boys fixed the car.

We had an '87 Honda Civic for 9 years of our marriage, and it was Mike's car in college! It finally died last fall. It's funny, but it was sad seeing that piece of history go. Although, I can't complain about our new Honda Acura! It was definitely time to upgrade. haha

Yeah, our 87 was my moms car. She brought it brand new! It was what i grew up in seeing how i was 9 when we bought the car. I drove it to high school, college, and ever since. It would be nice to upgrade, but i too think it would be really sad to see it go.
