Hi all,<\/p>\n
Lets see … looks like last letter was 12\/07. In one month we:<\/p>\n
– Blew the transmit on on our van, 2nd time in 1 year. This one was
warranted, but the dealer said Zack gets to pay for the next one \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
– Slid the White car into a ditch one icy evening. Zack repaired that one
on his own, as we didn’t want to tempt our insurance guys into dropping us.<\/p>\n
– Our insurance guys dropped us anyway. In the last year, Laurie and Zack
each had an accident, and Zack had 2 speeding tickets. Since Laurie is
switching to her own policy this month, we might be able to get them not to
drop us. That would be good, as otherwise our 6 months premiums would go
from $1600 to $4500 for 3 three of us. That would be a pretty sad rate
considering Nick hardly ever drives and I drive about 5 miles a day.<\/p>\n
– I vacationed in Montana over Xmas. Had a nice visit with Mom\/Dad, Sue &
family and some old friends. I got back to the ‘bachelor pad’ to find 1
week of accumulated boy droppings scattered about the house. Especially the
kitchen. First thing I did was to teach they boys the art of garbage
collection and disposal.<\/p>\n
– Zack then took off on his Montana ski board vacation. He just got back
yesterday. Good time, lots of new snow, and no broken bones or speeding
tickets \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
– Today Nick and I finished his applications to the 9 colleges he picked
earlier. Will find out in a few months which accept him and what kind of
scholarships he gets.<\/p>\n
– Laurie traveled to Oregon after Xmas and took Minnesota’s snow with her.
Her flights were canceled due to snow and ice several times, so instead of
getting back Wednesday, she is just getting back tonight. I think Oregon
is glad to get rid of their Minnesota Winter \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
