How Sweet!

My friend brought over a treat for me and/or my children as I am diabetic. She brought over a handmade barn and barnyard full of animals. Every farm animal had some kind of candy attached. The pig had a chocolate covered cherry cuz the pig and the package is pink. The horse had jr. mints, the cow had milk duds, the flower had rolos, the chicken had mini M&M's, the dog had dots, etc. I'm not sure how each related to each animal but she assures me each candy was attached to each animal for a reason. She does great stuff like this all the time. I'm not sure who enjoys it more, her or my children!

I have transportation again!

I was picking up my son from a friend's house and my transmission kept slipping out of gear. It slipped out on my 4 times after I realized what was happening and trying to get it home. I pulled into the driveway but couldn't make it into the garage. I called my son's friend's mom and asked if she could give him a ride home.
My hubby went to the junk yard and got a transmission. It took him a few days to put it in but he did. Around 11pm just as he finished, he asked me to try it out with him. It didn't work.
He took it back and got another one. It took him two weeks in get it in and ready. This one works. Yay! I don't use it much but I never realized the feeling of freedom it gives me to do what I need/want to when I need/want to. I am so grateful for a husband that knows how to fix so many things.
