Another scooter.

Dawna finally got her new scooter yesterday. It was supposed to be red, but, apparently they didn't have red available, so hers is blue. A very nice shade of blue. I will take pics of her on it, and post them on here this weekend. It did have some damage to it after we un-crated it. Had a small scrape on one side, and there is a problem with the front brake, but, we will get that all taken care of. I need to get the insurance done tomorrow, and get it registered and inspected. Once Dawna passes her test, she will be ready to go. I took it for a ride today, and it really flies. Much faster than mine. And it takes the bumps much better. Good suspension on hers. I think she will have fun with this. Happy early 50Th Birthday honey!

I went and saw my foot doctor yesterday, and he gave me another injection for now to help me get through a few more weeks. He is going to do surgery on my right foot sometime during the end of August. Wanted to do it sooner, but, the post office has too many people off between now and the last week of August. Summer vacations going on. So, I can wait till then. Will be off work for 2 weeks. Sick leave will take care of that.

Bucs have won 2 in a row over Houston. Going for the sweep tonight. Had a long rain delay last night, and the game didn't end till 1:10 am. But, the Pirates won, so, that's all that matters. Going to watch the game now. Have a nice day!

Happy Birthday Mom!


Today is my Mother's 75th Birthday. This is a picture of her taken recently at my sister Rose's 50th birthday party. My mom has been a great mother. She raised 8 kids. I don't know how anyone could do that these days. Anyhow, just wanted to wish her a very happy birthday! And many more......
Dawna's scooter did not come today. She waited all day for it to show up, and it never came. She finally called them, and they said it never left the terminal. Maybe tomorrow? Dawna failed her written test for her motorcycle permit on Saturday. She will just have to keep taking it till she passes it! I know she will pass it eventually.
My sister chris and her family are on their way to Europe. They are swapping homes for a month with another family from Europe. Pretty cool. Chris lives in Largo, Florida. They have planned this for quite a long time. Hope they have a great time.
Got to go now. Pirates and Astros are getting ready for a series in Pittsburgh. Battle for last place. Lots of fun!! See you all tomorrow.
