My MIL got to town yesterday.  She wanted to buy some souvenirs so we went to some of the gift stores in town and then needed to stop at Walmart.  I now remember why I don't go to Walmart on Saturdays.  Craziness!   When I was driving us out of the parking lot, I turned down an aisle and the wind was blowing an unattended shopping cart across the lane.  I stopped to wait for it and just when I had room to sneak around, it started coming back the other way!  Then, the cart proceeded to go right down the middle of the lane so there wasn't enough room to get around on either side.  MIL and I were just roaring following this shopping cart through the parking lot.  It finally got off to the side enough for me to get around so I gunned it.

What was your first car?

It was a 1982 Plymouth Horizon.  It looked just like this but was gray with red interior (purple would've been cool).

They started having some breakdowns at the plant so Ray had to go out there around 4.  He was able to take his truck.  He finally called me at midnight to say he was ready to come home but his truck was dead again.  By the time his friend got out there, towed the truck to the dealer, and got home, it was 1:30 am.  My poor guy is soooo tired!  Lily & I gave him a ride out to the plant this morning after taking the boys to school.  It was glare ice a lot of the way so I only drove about 30 mph.  It was driving Ray nuts but I didn't feel bad when I saw an SUV in the ditch.  Lily and I went in to see his new office.  They had done some rennovating since the last time we were out there.  I didn't think to take a picture of that but did get a few of the plant with my phone.

The set of 5 towers on the far right are the new ones from last fall. 

Ray didn't make it to the circus with us but he sure didn't miss out.  I thought it was terrible.  Its real hit & miss and this was a big miss.  For me, its just not a circus without a trapeze act.
