Christy's Birthday

Christy's birthday was Thursday. We had a party for her on Friday night. The kids had a carnival at their school and Christy had to work in a booth, so we started the party at 7. We invited John and JoAnn, Grandma Engler and Grandma Whitman. Of course tacos were on the menu.

When the kids got here, they all had some pretty wild hair colors and tattoos. I will post some pictures of the evening. We had fun having everyone here.

Saturday Keith had an auction at the Bryan Airport. They sold several planes and there was a cruise-in of old cars there and at 5 they had an auction of donated things from merchants to benefit the airport association. I only went to the 5 oclock auction. I got some neat stuff!! Then Keith & I went to the country club for supper.

Sunday we went to the lake. It wasn't very warm. I guess I have to accept that the summer is over!! We hope to go up some this coming weekend to close everything up for the year.

We are going to South Carolina soon to our timeshare and we are both looking forward to some time off. We will be stopping in Cincinnati and stay all night with Kevin & Sarah. We look forward to seeing them, and Linda's new home, and Melissa's new baby.

Keith's 1966 Dodge Charger

I thought I would post some pictures of Keith's 1966 Charger. Keith bought one new in 1966 after he graduated from high school. After seeing one sell at Auburn, I think he is motivated to start fixing this one up.

We did not sell the truck at Auburn, but Keith has his Ford truck listed on an auction on September 16th. I drove the Dodge home and I think it was the first time I have ever driven it. I like the way it drives better than the Ford anyway. We had a lot of lookers, especially at the camper as it is unique in that it has two doors that open so the whole back end is open and it has two ramps so that you can drive a four wheeler in it.

Hope you enjoy the pictures of the Charger. Today is the first he has driven it and he drove it around the circle drive. It is just primer now, but I am sure he will have it painted silver like his first one.

Auburn Cord Dusenberg Show in Auburn, Indiana

Keith rented a spot in the car corral at the last minute. Tom got one to sell his corvette and he called Keith while waiting in line and Keith decided to have him rent one for him too. We took the 2002 Dodge Dually with the 2002 Fleetwood camper over. When you rent a space you also get two passes that you can get in every day which sell for $80 each so that made it a little more reasonable. We have been over there the last two days. We have really seen some neat cars. A 1966 Dodge Charger sold at the auction for $90,000 so that is motivating Keith to restore his. It really hasn't been lake weather the last two days so we aren't missing going up to the lake. We will go back tomorrow. We have a couple of people interested that said they would come back tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Mary's sister Patti, saw a red Mercedes convertible and fell in love with it. She went over to look at it without her husband, Norm, and got out her checkbook and wrote a check. She took it home today. I could hear Keith if I did that.
