Intro to the mound


Well here it is the first post in the stinkin mound blogspot. For those who are visitors to this site, the R family when growing up spent hours of slave labor working on a desolate uninhabited piece of terra firma called the mound. Our drive way was just over an 1/8 of a mile long and culminated in a gravel culdesac in the center of the culdesac Grandma R wanted to put a flower garden with a waterfall, and other asthetically pleasing acroutements including rocks pilfered from various roadsides throughout the US, a varying assortment of bushes, dead tree stumps, rotten whiskey barrells, and a rusted out corn planter built in the late 1800's (about the same time Grandma R was born :) The mound has been a thorn in the side but also an icon to our family representing trials that bring us together and make us stronger despite the pain that is often times associated with these trials. So sit back and enjoy the reading.......

Thanksgiving Weekend

Grandma and Grandpa came to vist on Thanksgiving weekend, and brought N and K with them. We had a great time, enjoying way too much food, playing games, going to the football field, watching football, and of course, shopping for blue cars. Turns out the only reason Mom (i.e. grandma) wanted to visit was to use her son and his internet access and car-shopping experience to get herself a new Highlander (this was my third car shopping experience this year - once direct, and twice indirectly helping someone find a vehicle).




Well, as you can see from the pictures, it was a successful effort. We found this one on the first lot we visited, but were told it was not for sale (was being used as a rental, but the rental office was located in the same building as the dealer). After some more looking and test drives and searching the internet, we eventually got back to this one and got a great deal. It had about 1,000 miles on it, and was just the color and options she wanted. Hope you enjoy these pictures of mom and her new Highlander.
