New Set Of Wheels

Chris and I just got home from going to pick up his new company vehicle. He is tickled to death about it! He's been wanting a truck for a long time. I think it's a "guy thing".  Pretty snazzy, wouldn't you say?


I do have to share a funny story with you...he'll never know, right?  Well, after we got it, we decided to grab some lunch at Firehouse Subs. Since we were driving separately, I pulled into a parking space right behind Chris.  It, literally, took him 3 tries to get parked correctly.  I just sat there and watched him in my rear view mirror as I snickered to myself.  Then, he opened the door of the truck to get out, and went SPLAT!  He fell out of it!  When that happened, I didn't snicker...I burst out LAUGHING!  Funniest thing I've ever witnessed!  Why is it that when a man falls down, women find it hilarious, but if a woman falls, men better think long and hard about cracking a smile, much less laughing. Do you agree, ladies?  Let's just say that it's going to take us both awhile to get in and out of the truck with finesse.     

Sorry, but I couldn't resist showing you my pretty verbena.  I absolutely love that plant! It comes back more vibrant with each passing year.


It is so HOT here today...and humid, too! I can handle the heat, but the humidity, not so much. It wreaks havoc on my hair! Nonetheless, I'm still looking forward to a warm, sunny weekend.  Hopefully, sweatshirt weather is a thing of the past!  Bring on the flip-flops!

Have a terrific weekend, everyone...see you next week!

Hello, I'm April, welcome to my blog. I look at every day as an adventure and an opportunity to laugh and to learn. You will soon discover that my family and my faith are at the heart of who I am.

Oh my... I'm guilty of laughing when ANYONE falls! ... a lady had her 4 yr old child at work one time & he fell down the steps...I could tell he was OK - but I was laughing so hard, I couldnt even stand up. I'm BAAADDDDD with laughing at inappropriate times :)

I laughed one time at Ricky falling in our front yard - that was 15 years ago - he's still angry about it :)

Enjoy that MONSTER TRUCK!!!

That truck is huge! I bet it will take a while to get used to the size of it.

Your verbena are pretty.

Really nice truck but I'm not sure I could get up into it, it's so big. Love the beautiful flowers.

Have a great weekend!

It is a shiny, pretty truck, but it IS tall! (I’d need a step-stool!) But, I fall too much to laugh when anyone falls. I panic.

I agree, humidity is bad, but I LOVE me some heat!

This is a NICE truck! It will take awhile to get used to! Hubs bought a truck last year to keep up at the lake. It became his mistress! He was washing it 3 times a week!! Be careful with Chris!

BTW...did he get a job in your area? I might have missed a post.

Happy Weekend!

XO,
Jane

The new truck is so pretty. Thanks for sharing the funny story. LOL. That had to be hysterical seeing him go splat! Glad he was okay.

Your verbena is gorgeous! We're in the low 40's today-it's chilly! Have a nice weekend : )

That is such a funny story April : ) It made me laugh. It looks SO high! I am glad you are doing well. I was praying for you all while you were waiting for the perfect job to come along for Chris. I am so thankful one did. I am sorry I haven't been over to visit lately. Life has been so crazy. I mean CRAZY! I know you know!

Too funny!

You have a Firehouse Subs nearby! Lucky you!!!! We love them so much that we check online before we leave on our trips to see if there's a Firehouse Sub conveniently located near the interstate on our route at around the time that we'd stop for lunch. Luckily our trips are all to the south, where there are usually enough Firehouse Subs that we can find one for lunch.

It's not hot here, but warmer than it was yesterday. But it is going to warm up a lot while we're in Hilton Head. I hate when that happens ... there's a certain amount of perverse pleasure of being at the beach when it's not quite so nice back home. But no matter ... even if it's nice at home, there's no beach here! ha!

Stacy said...

Ahhh yes, boys and their trucks. I understand. There is a Ford F250 twin turbo diesel sitting in my driveway. LOL
