Neal brought his folks home for the weekend

OK, so Dad had a class reunion, too.  It's just all in your point of view.  Wanda's going to tell me I have to have pictures, so here's a few:

This is my cousin Neal.  He's a baby.

OK, so why are you guys making weird faces?

Since Becky and Jim have become adults they do talk.  Someday they'll speak face to face!

But all good things must come to an end.  Perhaps the hardest sentence to hear was the one walking out the door:  "We'll see you in August."

HEY! WAIT A MINUTE ...

HEY! WAIT A MINUTE!  That's not Mikey's truck.  Mikey has a red 4 door 4 wheel drive Dodge Dakota with 196,000 miles on it!

Well, yes I do.  But I recently purchased a red extended cab 4 wheel drive Dodge Dakota with 78,000 miles on it.

It isn't as fancy as the old one. No electric windows, no interior lighting package. Probably not built as heavy.  It had 15" tires on 5 bolt wheels, where the old one had 16" tires on 6 bolt wheels.  But the price was right and it should do what I need.  And if not I can afford to replace it.  If I spent $30,000 on a truck I'd HAVE to be satisfied with it.

Oh, and if you hear someone wanting a good little truck I am probably going to sell the old one
