20 years

I went to my 20 year class reunion this past weekend. It was nice to see my friends and classmates again.

Some people hadn't changed a bit (very, very into themselves) and others were so different it was scary (like worried the guy was going to need to be committed). But mostly everyone grew up and were past high school attitudes.

I'm glad I went, I've missed the other reunions and wanted to see what everyone was up to. But I am also glad I went because something funny happened.

Donnie and I pulled up at my dad's house and Donnie asked me whose car was in the driveway that he didn't recognize. I said that must be the car my dad picked up for $75 and got a new battery for that now works great. Donnie wanted to offer my dad $100 for it, but I had already tried that, no go. So he said, hmmm, wonder if he'd sell his old truck. So, I walked in the house and said "Hey, Dad, I'll give you $100 for your old pickup." He literally scratched his chin and thought about it. "Do you have $100?" "Yes." "OK." Yes, he was going to let us buy it for $100! So we picked up the cash while at the reunion Saturday night and Donnie tried to give it to him in the morning, but he wouldn't take it. Donnie insisted he take something for the truck, so they ended up on $40, which pays for the muffler he put on the car. Don't I have a great dad?

Our Metro's engine is about dead, our Cavalier only works for a week at a time, our van is long gone, so we are down to our Escort and Kaytlin's car. We can't fit in a vehicle. The truck holds 6 people, so at least we are getting closer, lol. And with two vehicles again we can at least go places as a family. And Donnie finally has a truck. His dream. He can tow the boat and go fishing again!
