Michael ran out of gas today...again...the 4th time in 2 months! At least this time he only made it to the shop. Dad and I went down to get him some gas (Dad didn't make a fuss...how could he when he still reigns as King when it comes to running out of gas!). When we pulled into the gas station I was thinking...again...about the time when we could fill up the gas can to mow the lawn for $3.00. Dad said he can remember when we could fill the can for $1.50. Today gas in Dresden was $2.55 a gallon. Starting to creep back up. Hope it doesn't make it to $4.00 a gallon again.
After Michael was taken care of, we headed off to a few yard sales in the area. Tickled to death when we found a sale where a little boy was selling all his Thomas the Train stuff! He and his Sib's were selling their toys so they could raise money for a pool pass. What a great idea...sure would make going to the pool this summer way more meaningful, wouldn't it? This little 7 year old was quite the salesman. He found everything he had that was Thomas related and then even convinced me to buy a train that wasn't:) I see a bright future ahead of him...we left him $14.10 of our money! Cannon is going to be thrilled!!!
I was hanging towels outside to dry today on my redneck clothesline (the chain link fence) and I was smiling as I remembered our foster care coordinator asking me on Wedensday when she did her home inspection what Tabitha thought about living in such an eccentric home (I think my towels were hanging on the fence that day too). ECCENTRIC! I love it:) At one time in my life I might have taken offense at that label but now I think it describes us to a "T"!!! ECCENTRIC...I'm smiling as I type it!
