Farewell to a great car

Last week, I got rear ended as I was driving into work.  I am okay, but the car did not fair so well.  The person who rear ended the car said that her foot slipped from the brake peddle to the gas peddle and reamed the car into another car in front.  Everyone was fine, only my car was damaged the most.  The insurance company deemed the car a total lost.  We are getting $2000 for the value of the car.  We might get a little more as we are asking the insurance to add the cost of some recent repairs we made.  So we are in the market for a new car.  

We have had our Honda Accord since 1993 when Kim's mom surprised her with a brand spanking new car.  The car travelled across the ocean when we got married and we've had it for 20 years.  I guess it was time anyway to get another car.  

Thank you green car for all the years you gave us!

Family shot

Thought you would enjoy a picture of us at a recent wedding reception for a friend's daughter.

And another shot the long way.

The setting was along the Chesapeake.  The weather was absolutely perfect for an August night!

First day of third grade for Lillie!!!

Our Lillie is a third grader today.  We had a fun summer, but it is back to the rigors of school!!

The day before school started, they had a "meet and greet".  Lillie was excited to meet her teacher, Mrs. Boggs.

Lillie had a great first day.  She deserved a treat at the ice cream shop!  She is so sweet!
