All I can do is say, "I told you so." Sometimes I love saying that, but not when it was at a loss of $2800!<BR/><BR/>There was a bad omen of sorts involved with the MG. The day that we had an appointment to go look at it, the owner called us to tell us the clutch went out on it and that he needed to do a few repairs. We thought that was a bad sign so we told the guy we were no longer interested.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988429133719659700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-42195681167420750782008-03-26T17:43:00.000-04:002008-03-26T17:43:00.000-04:00Doesn't seem as if "the cherokee" would be the bes...Doesn't seem as if "the cherokee" would be the best for mileage.<BR/>What ever happened to the mg?goatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02317617928368945316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-16536284382807864052008-03-24T22:33:00.000-04:002008-03-24T22:33:00.000-04:00Hi Vincent,How many grandchildren do you have? Ho...Hi Vincent,<BR/><BR/>How many grandchildren do you have? How old are they?<BR/><BR/>As a child, Easter to me meant large colorful baskets full of candy and chocolate. It also meant going out in the front or back yard and hunting for colorful eggs, which my mother had carefully dyed with those PAAS kits. There is a photograph I have that makes me smile with fondess, of my sister and I hunting around for eggs. Judging by the look of surprise on my face, I must have really had a good time. My parents always did a great job at making sure my sister and I got the most out of every holiday.<BR/><BR/>Funny you were doing carpentry on Easter, as that was Jesus's occupation. :)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988429133719659700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069115106901769901.post-80465628785132873762008-03-24T05:26:00.000-04:002008-03-24T05:26:00.000-04:00Sophia I am too lazy to click that link to the laz...Sophia I am too lazy to click that link to the lazy man's guide to enlightenment, even for a quick peek, after your quick review.<BR/><BR/>In this house no easter eggs were given nor received, but I sang a hymn or 3, with lots of Alleluias, but then I am a grandfather. But I was not prodding anyone to go to church, just waking up my beloved, who did not appreciate it as much as I had hoped. And whilst sawing planks in the front room (only place i can do carpentry in this little cottage---it was snowing outside) I got a taste of religion from a Catholic Bishop with the green trimmings, doing all the ritual things up at the altar. I can never repeat enough these amateur messages across the atlantic: Christianity is different here, very much a minority hobby, but it gets a little coverage at Easter which would not have much significance without it anyhow.<BR/><BR/>Let me add my Alleluia to your husband, who in any case is no longer unsung on this blog because you just done sung him.<BR/><BR/>Nice to see you back!Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.com
