My New Car!

2013-10-14

This week we bought a new (to us) car! Mommy and Daddy traded the Impreza and the van for a slightly used 2013 Outback.

My first ride in our new car.

Grandpa Al and Grandma Wynne came to see me on Friday, and Grandma Wynne stayed at our house to play with me during the garage sale on Saturday.

Mommy and Daddy had game night and everyone was amused by my sleeping position.

Asleep.

Saturday morning we had our garage sale. Well, more like a garage giveaway. Mommy and Daddy told people everything was pay what you want, and most of them gave a few dollars if they took stuff. All the big items were hauled away by someone else, so we donated one carload and we still have some boxes to go to other charities - but the garage is empty enough to park the new car inside!

Grandma Gail, Great-grandma Muriel, and Great-grandpa Les all came to visit while we were having the sale. They took turns playing with me inside. Duke also had some excitement when a box of donuts was left where he could get at them. He ate 4 1/2 blueberry donuts. One more feat of eating to add to his impressive list (a whole pizza, a loaf of challah bread, a package of English muffins, a stick of butter, a bag of lemon drops).

I stayed in the house all morning. Great-grandpa Les and I did some farming.

After the garage sale, Daddy and I took Grandma Wynne home. We spent the night at Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's and on Sunday we went to see Great-grandma Dorothy. Auntie Diane, Uncle Milton, Uncle David, and Uncle John were all there, too.

Sunday afternoon Daddy and I went home, picked up Mommy and went to the apple orchard again. We rode on the wagon and picked apples and had so much fun. It was a beautiful day to be outside.

But I don't want to leave the orchard....

And that was my exciting week. Take care, everyone!
