Accent

Wow, so, July has nearly come and gone...already. So much has been going on this past month I am not even sure I can accurately re-cap. I will say though that in the middle of the month Adam spent a week in Mexico with the teens. They had a great trip, but Adam stayed in bed VERY sick for a majority of the week. Thanks to his adult volunteers and an all around good group of teens the week went smoothly without him. Adam was better by the time they came back and all is well!

Mom came and stayed with me and the boys that week. I think that was a long week for her. She had her first real experience with a Georgia summer. Yes, you folks in other parts of the country, in Georgia "hot" is an understatement. Whew.

On a different note, Adam took the plunge today. For about a year-and-a-half Adam has been driving a 1991 Mercury Topaz. It was very nice in it's day, power everything, air conditioning, et cetera...but the power windows quit working in front, AC out (remember I mentioned those Georgia summers) no cup holders, et cetera, et cetera, and recently it would cut off randomly (but thankfully started back up each time). We live about 30 minutes from the church...so Adam drives about 250 miles a week. So, after careful research and consideration, he bought a Hyundai Accent today. It is a 3-door hatch back, completely basic. Power nothing. BUT, it has AC and cup holders...ahhh, the little things in life! This little car gets really good gas mileage and is very hard to come by. They did not make many to start with, do not make them anymore, and they are quite popular because of looks, fuel efficiency, quality, warranty, and price!

This month has been a rough one, part of why I have not been blogging. As Anne and I were talking the other day she mentioned my lack of blogging and we came to the conclusion that "If you can't say anything nice, do not say anything at all"! So, there you have it.

Until next time...
