Oh my gosh...is he in remission or cured? <br /><br />My husband's *wake up* call was seeing his Mom slowly dying from Dementia in a nursing home. Seeing so many elderly residents in God's waiting room made him realize life is too short and he's been much more open to treating himself and doing those "bucket list" type of things.<br /><br />Love the roadster, and the alley way orchards...lol...my sister always tells me about all the lemons and grapefruits she eats for free there in sunny AZ!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-84694706591269960192009-10-27T15:22:54.703-07:002009-10-27T15:22:54.703-07:00Totally loved the story.

Mr. Mapgie loves cars, too, and when we first married, he called me while I was away visiting my mother to see if I would loan him a whopping amount to put a downpayment on a 1957 190-SL convertible. See we had our money and "my" money. ;-) So I floated him the loan, and we enjoyed that unairconditioned car (mind you we live in Florida!) for many years. SO I understand your husband's love of his!<br /><br />This was a neat story, and how fun to drive the alleys looking for fruit. That's neat!<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-40449475077780136252009-10-27T12:43:22.452-07:002009-10-27T12:43:22.452-07:00That is so cool!!

My bucket list is to have a restored, shiny, bright red 1965 Mustang convertible...I keep looking at hubby and hinting - to no avail....yet. <br />Picking apples? I admit - I've never done that - but perhaps its something to do with the kiddies one of these days....<br /><br />Thanks for the blog post!KCSherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15197104891128238863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-20717367245177214672009-10-27T03:51:23.009-07:002009-10-27T03:51:23.009-07:00Well I had no idea what a Jeepster was when I star...Well I had no idea what a Jeepster was when I started reading your post. When I saw the picture...oh my! I want one too! What a gorgeous ride.<br />And picking the alleys? I like that concept.<br />You're right. The music is so much fun! And your vintage Halloween pictures are wonderful. Hope you enjoy yours! Do you have big plans?<br />Take care, RebekahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688526164999265223.post-27890533926594198342009-10-26T23:55:13.296-07:002009-10-26T23:55:13.296-07:00Ahh..

Plus, he'd wanted one every since becoming obsessed with all things diesel at.. well.. birth, really. He'd spent a ridiculous amount of money tuning it up & it was the fastest truck in the county, which made him quite proud. When I was about 6 months along with Chase I convinced him that we needed another vehicle (the truck was the only one we had) because a) with me being all of 5'2" I was having a hard time getting in & out of this HUGE truck with such a big pregnant belly, & b) because it was a single cab that wouldn't be safe for a car seat. We bought a '00 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Soon the gas prices sky rocketed, along with diesel prices, & he realized the truck had to go. In December we traded in the Ford for my Accord & went from 9 mpg to 30 mpg. Finally, our wallet could breathe easy. It lasted all of six months. In June Dave wanted a project. There is now a '96 Dodge 3500 12 valve diesel dually sitting in the yard. We've had it four months & the thing has broke down a dozen times. Dave always says, "But darlin', we knew it was going to be a project!" Boys. They never learn. :)MLGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226662285135137116noreply@blogger.com
