Thursday August 22nd, 2019...Morning Thoughts

Our economical Chevrolet Impala with Coastal Playground Whale license plates.

Things I’m thinking this morning in no special order....

We exchanged our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica van in for a 2018 Chevrolet Impala recently. We hated the Pacifica. It had so many issues even though it was brand new when we bought it. It was the single most worst purchase ever. We were glad to get rid of it even though it could hold our whole family. Our Impala drives like a dream. It is a wonderful car 🚗 and it was still under warranty when we traded it in. We got a few minor things fixed on it, like: the temperature gauge wasn't reading right. Now it is perfect. It saves us gas money and is eco-friendly because it uses less gas as well. Besides helping the environment with our purchase of a more economical vehicle we are also helping support Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute with our purchase of our new license plate. The “Coastal Playground” license plate features a mother gray whale 🐋 and its calf swimming somewhere off the Oregon coast. The plate also has a lighthouse and rolling waves in the distance. Oregon State University’s Marine Mammal Institute will receive $35 of the $40 surcharge on each plate, which will help the school fund research and education projects.

My hair is starting to go grey. I knew this would happen eventually. I don't know if I want to just let it go grey naturally or cover it up and be a red head :) I have always wanted to try henna hair color. Is is more natural than the chemical hair dye and better for your hair. Maybe I will take the plunge.

I want to start growing sprouts 🌱 again. I used to grow different kinds, mostly: mung beans, alfalfa, and broccoli, and lentils. We have a Kitchen Crop 4-tray Seed Sprouter. I loved adding nutritious sprouts to soups, salads, sandwiches, stir-fry, bread, omelets, and more.

Teela received money from her Nonnie and Al for Christmas and bought a new bicycle with it.

Once Teela gets better at riding Zari can take a ride on the pegs.

Teela loves her new bike!

Our New Dog, Prince

We saw Prince on Petfinder and even though it was a 10 hour drive for Brian to get him, it was well worth it. He is a Poodle Coonhound Mix and is 2 years old. He is a great dog so far and we haven't had any problems with him. He does like to chase small animals, especially cats...so we are walking him regularly on the leash until we can get something better than the fence we currently have around our yard. He has been a perfect gentleman and is very gentle with everyone. I love his big soft floppy ears and he loves my kids. He doesn't shed much since he is part poodle and is the large dog that we were looking for. I think we are the very family he was looking for too :) Look how happy he is!
