A Few Things...

Just wondering why more people don't use this?

Seriously, we just, after owning it for a year an a half,

 saw this sign on the back of our van!

This was not even a selling point, I mean, the salesman did NOT

even tell us our van could use E-85!

We found it about 6 weeks ago.

Our town is pretty big, I mean there are a lot of  gas stations, 

yet only 3 carry it. 

When I go fill up, no one is in line for the one pump that carries it.

Seriously?  I save over $20 each fill up!

We notice no lack of gas mileage, it seems the same.

So

I'm wondering why more cars are not using it?

I know that it works for cars up to 2 years old

(our van)

Do you use E-85?

If not, and you have a vehicle that can use it, why not?

(I know older vehicles can not use it)

 Witch Fingers!

I found these today at the grocery store!

They are just grapes that look like tiny peppers, only if they were peppers, 

we'd say they look like grapes.

They are seedless grapes and are really juicy and the kids love them!

Now why in the world would they call them Witch Fingers?

I mean, couldn't they come up with a better name, like, maybe 

Fairy Fingers?

 After the birthday post, 

a couple people asked about the box at the end of the bed.

This was the before picture.

I posted it on Facebook, to show my brother, John.

It was ours when we were little, 

It was our toybox (we are talking over 40 years ago folks)

 and my mom painted it red and put this orange felty stuff on top.

Later, my brother had it as a teen,

 and put on these nice "Skoal Chewing Tobacco" stickers 

I found out that my uncle Larry (my mom's brother) actually made it originally,

and has since made similar boxes for his grandchildren.

   (Awwwwww)
Special box, huh?

 Somehow I ended up with it

My brother had fixed the hinges on it 10 or 20 years ago and the nails were

not the right size, and were sticking out the top, so it was too dangerous to use

I decided to fix it and surprise "Rosie" on her birthday

I put sticky, felt, circle, chair bottom thingy's on the nails that were sticking out 

painted it the color of her room

and added some padding and nice material

and 

Viola!!!

 At first I was planning on a window seat, 

but it looked better at the end of her bed.

 I spray painted her brown folding desk chair blue too

Yes, I know, I'm crafty sometimes.

See that pink thingy? 

Yep, I painted that too.

(no bed skirt on the bed, because spiders can crawl up those you know)

Last but not least

Well, maybe it is least, I don't really know.

Falling Skies 

is a show my husband and I have been watching via Netflix!

It is an Alien type show, but, now just stop there,

it's actually pretty good. 

Really.

But if you think about it, aliens?

Stupid.  I know. 

We are caught up now and are DVR-ing the new ones.

(It has Noah Wyle in it)
