Final Farewell

With a lump in his throat, Ryan gave his final farewell to his boat last night. He caught many a fish and made some fine memories. Including, Madelyn taking her first boat ride when she was just a wee one and tubing for the first time when she was barely four years old.
However, considering he bought the boat eight years ago from his dad for $1400 and sold it for $2900 I'm not feeling too sorry for him. Inflation served him well!


The proud new owner is from Independence,KS. He owns and operates a white-tailed deer ranch so he and Ryan had plenty to discuss. He also raised five daughters. Can you imagine the fun he had? Me either....




With cash in hand I was anxiously anticipating how we could spend it. Of course my darling, practical husband is going to pay off his truck. Thank goodness he keeps me grounded and out of debt.

It made me sad to see it going down your street bhind a strange vehicle---it WAS a family heirloom!
