New RED Sled.....

There have been several years that I just haven't been in the mood for Christmas and this is one of them. Don't know if it's the thought of this being our last one in this house or that we're busy (which we've been busier). Haven't figured out what the culprit is. Is it sad that I don't even want to drag out the decorations?!

Thought I'd show what we did buy last weekend. The roads were too slick or go to work, but DH managed to get me out of the house to go pick up Troy's new vehicle. No, it's not new but it'll be new to our farm. It's a 2001 Dodge pickup. We teased him that it was a PM--purple machine, but after searching we found out it's called a deep scarlet red. He will be easy to buy for Christmas as it has four slick tires. Troy's already talking about chrome rails and maybe a toolbox so he's got something to work towards. I think the kid has more in his savings account than I do.




The pickup is actually from a sad story because the Grandma and Grandaughter bought the pickup together, but the GD couldn't/wouldn't make the payments on it. Step-dad took it away from her and told Grandmother to sell it. Hate to say that her loss is our fortune but sometimes that is how life is.

But..you know what's really funny....we've had this vehicle for five days and do you think Mama has even got to drive it yet?! nope..... He has offered to take me wherever I wanted to go...he's such a good kid!

I did ask if we could just decorate the new red-sled and not decorate anywhere else. Well, you know boyz...they jumped on that idea. Dont' think the DIL or girlfriend would go for that so one of these days I'll put up the tree...sometime.

Why do they start playing Christmas music on the radio in November? Maybe I'll get in the Christmas spirit before too long.
