St Patricks Day Eve

Another St Patricks Day is almost upon us... Things in Toano are going well. The past couple of weeks have been busy at home and at work. I wasn't able to fend off the nasty cold going around, but I was able to work through it. Last weekend as I was working, I got a text message from Jim (who was out running errands and making a final weekend trip to the grocery), it went something like: "Do we need beer? Have you driven the new Sebring?" my answer went something like: "Yes, and no I haven't"... Seemed like a simple exchange of words, and no where in the brief message did I read anything like "I just drove the new Sebring and I think I am going to get it"... Silly me... As I was leaving work around 4pm I called Jim to see what he was up to. He told me he was still at the Chrysler dealer checking out cars. I asked if he wanted me to meet him there, which he did. Well, the car was and is gorgeous. A dark metallic midnight blue, with a gray convertible top with matching leather/microfiber upholstery, and has all the bells and whistles Jim likes (except the seat warmers). He asked if I thought he should get it (trading in the 2005 Jeep with a lease for something he would actually own). I appreciated him asking, but told him it was totally up to him... He got it!!! and while he finished up with the paperwork, I ran over to the grocery (he never made it there, hehehe)...

So now we are the proud owners of his and his Sebring convertibles... Bring it on Spring and Summer!!!

We both had the day off yesterday and were out enjoying the 80+ degree afternoon, washing and detailing the twins (cars) in preparation for the overnight and all day rain today (of course)... With the dreary weather, I was able to clean the house today, so that Jim won't have to worry about it this weekend while I am working...

Otherwise things are fantastic... while out washing my car yesterday, I noticed some buds (green) coming out on some of the trees in the back yard... Yahoooo! Spring is almost here!!

That's it for now from my neck of the woods!
