Nothing Going On So Some Odds and Ends

Ho Hum, things have been quiet, real quiet. Perhaps it is the lull before the storm? Let's see, "The Madge" had to bring her car in to the dealer as the "check engine" light came on. This happened because the car was approaching 5,000 miles and it is the manufacturers way of scaring you into bringing it in to the dealer. Read the owners manual, "If the Check Engine light comes on, shut the car off and immediately bring it to your dealer". As soon as we told the service department what the mileage is they just said to drive it in for it's 5,000 mile check up. The reason I am mentioning this is the car is 2 1/2 years old, she averages about 155 miles per month, or 5 miles per day. When her car was about two months old she had to call roadside assistance because her battery was dead. When the man came to the house to charge the battery he noticed the car had 14 miles on it, that's right FOURTEEN. "The Madge" is considering getting a new car, Hello !!!, she has one in her garage.
Colleen and Mark are off skiing in Tahoe and sent this photo of the view from their condo. They are trying snowboarding for the first time, so take a lot of pictures now before the camera breaks from a fall. In about one week Caden will be driving down from Frisco with his Mom, Dad and dog to spend a Easter week with the Grandparents and Uncle Cooper. He is currently enrolled in a three month course at Emler Swim School, but not to learn how to how to perfect the butterfly stroke but to teach him to hold his breath while under water and how to float on his back without flailing about. Good for him, I'm glad he talked his parents into this. Here are the latest pictures (taken yesterday) of the little Aqua Tot.
