In my blog I plan to chat about nature, crafts, baking, gardening, beekeeping, family, and whatever else seems appropriate at the time. Sit back, relax, and enjoy!

FIAT!

So....last week my Shug and I went to a couple of home tours.  
One was in Indianapolis and one was in Westfield.  
One was really old, historic homes, and the other was brand new homes. 
 I'll tell you about those later....for now, I'm going to tell you what happened on our way to those home tours.  On Sunday, we drove by a FIAT dealership.  We stopped and looked.  The $13,990 sticker got our
 attention!
 But of course, they are closed on Sundays.  So on the home tour that we went to on Wednesday, we went back and drove three cars.  We had actually driven one last year, but it was a convertible and the roof was so low my Shug almost hit his head on it when he was sitting in it.  So, we decided to try a sunroof.  Same thing.  So we tried a hard top.  Perfect.  The hard top roofs are higher.

And when I got inside the red one my heart did a little leap!  It reminds me of a 57 chevy!
 Just like homes....I love the old ones with character, but I like the practicality and convenience of new.
We decided to go to lunch and talk it over.  I said I wanted to see it one more time.  So we went back.  Here it was 2:00 and we hadn't been on the home tour yet!  We went back and looked at it and my heart did a couple more leaps!!! 

 And living in the country now, we have been wanting something with better gas mileage. 
We decided to get it!  That was Wednesday.....and the thing was.....on Sunday of that week I woke up with swollen eye lids and below the eyes.  I had assumed it was from playing with my nieces eye shadows the day before.  This was Sunday.  I know....ugly.
On Monday it was much worse.  I didn't even get a pic Monday.....But I did go to the eye Dr.  He said they were EXTREMELY dry and I somehow damaged the left one.  He said he couldn't believe I wasn't in pain, that it should feel as though someone stuck a finger in my eye.  It didn't so I was fortunate.  I got two different kinds of perscription drops and couldn't wear contacts for a few days.  And I don't have updated glasses.  Therefore, I couldn't drive.  So, we told the car dealership that we would be back Friday to get it.  We were going to Carmel to a concert on Friday anyway.
TADAAAA!!!!! 
I love it!!!!

 PS - A little infomercial here, but I want to tell you in case you are interested.  FIAT is owned by Chrysler, which is where my Shug works.   He can get anyone a Friends and Family discount.  It is not a great discount but it is better than nothing.  These FIAT's at Butler are 2013's.  Still new though.  And if you go to Butler to buy one, we get $200.00!  If you tell them we sent you.  They are offering a great deal on them.  They are small gad-about cars that get great gas mileage, so if you are thinking of getting one let me know.  We'll get you a discount and you can get us $200!  The yellow one looks just like the red on inside, only yellow....I had a hard time deciding which one, but when I got excited looking at the red one, I just knew.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about......

 A perfect day.....and it isn't over yet!
 We have a lot of lilacs blooming and I picked a bunch and brought them in our house (room!).  Even picked a bouquet of them for Mom...It's her birthday!
 Can you smell 'em?   I can!

Come over, I'll pick a bouquet for you too!
And I got my car back today!  It doesn't match perfect...but it will...give it a year or two to fade.  I wonder how long I can keep this baby.  It's a 1999!

 Mom came over and I taught her how to crochet a ripple blanket.  She bought some yarn the other day at Groovy Girl Yarn.  She did a whole row on my blankey and By Joe I think she's got it!
 Dad went fishing while Mom crocheted.  And as you can see, the weather is PERFECT!
 Is it a keeper?
 Guess not.
 Happy Birthday Mom!
Dad said this is too much excitement for him. 
 
 And while I'm mentioning birthdays....
 Vickie's birthday was Saturday, and Theresa (my Sis) and Vickie and I went out to eat and to a movie on Sunday to celebrate.
 She got in trouble for bringing a Stitches n Scones bag into Groovy Girl yarn during the super bowl party so I got her a new yarn bag!
 I also got her a Suzy Q cake!
 Yes it is Hostess!  I froze them.  They are (were?) her fave.
And while we are wishing Happy B-days today....let's not forget about Mom's TWIN brother, Uncle Jerry.  He's on the left in this picture. (above)  He wasn't feeling to well today (sad face)
 And see this guy...on the left.  It's Vickie's son Ryan,and his birthday is Today too!

Happy Birthday
MOM
UNCLE JERRY
RYAN
and Belated to Vickie!!!

It's a PERFECT DAY to CELEBRATE!
