"Big Pimpin" P-I-M-P

So exciting news for us, we just bought a new Lincoln Navigator. Its a 2000 and it only has 89,000 miles on it and we got it for only $6000. I know with the gas prices it seems absolutely absurd that we would purchase such a beast of the blacktop and the small fact that we already have a SUV that takes you on a scenic tour of all the gas stations in the valley, but, for the price, we couldn't pass it up. I love it. It is so nice and comfy. I checked and it gets from 16 to 18 miles to the gallon. The kids love it as well. The best part is the third seat in the back (of which the kids insisted upon sitting in the WHOLE TIME.)



This weekend we also had a yard sale. It was pretty fun with the kids. All they wanted was the money so they were selling things that they like for it. It ridiculous the power of money with them. We did pretty well, met some interesting characters along the way, and got rid of unwanted things. Now its off to the DI with the rest of the stuff we couldn't sell. All in all we did pretty well. The kids wanted to do it all day but after we didnt have any customers for 2 hours and you could faintly hear someone whistling and tumbleweeds were rolling down the block (come on people, think old westerns here) we figured it was time to pack it up and get on to other things.



Not much is happening with us. Things are very boring at the Wheelwrights. One thing that is constant here at the Wheelwright house is the fact that Hannah is always cracking us up. I had a really nice cake dish with a lid out for sale. It was glass and turned into a punch bowl. Hannah was dusting it off and asked us if it was one of those "Cookie putter in ers". I thought I was gonna die. She cracks us up.

I still am jealous that you got such a great car for so cheap!
