An Early Mother's Day Present for Gina

Gina is all smiles as she sits on her new four wheeler

Last week Gina went four wheeling with the girls, Pat, Nancy and Bonnie. She was very apprehensive and scared. However, she went anyway and had a great time. On Thursday Gina borrowed Nancy’s four wheeler while I rode Mike’s four wheeler. We both rode separately and had a blast. Gina was able to ride Nancy’s four wheeler over all the hills around here and did great. It was a great confidence builder for her. Now Gina wakes up at 5:15 every morning and goes walking with Mike and Pat for about four miles around North Ranch.

One morning last week they spotted a four wheeler for sale here. It’s was strange since there is almost no one here now that most everyone has left and headed back north either to go back home or travel for the summer. We rode over to take a look at it and it wasn’t there so we figured it had been sold. Then a few days later she saw it again so we stopped what we were doing and rode over to look at it. She rode it back over to Mike and Pat’s so her Pops could look at it and see if it met his approval. He and Pat both looked it over and took it for a little ride. They both agreed that it was in great shape so Mike went inside and looked online to see what it was worth according to NADA. We then went back over to talk to the owner and discussed the price and after agreeing Gina got her very own four wheeler. It’s a 2007 Polaris 330 trail boss.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!! I love you Sweetheart

Mike and Pat agreed to let us keep it here since we do not have anyway to carry it yet. That will change once I get back to our house in Louisiana.

Last night we had a little gathering since Gregg and Bonnie will be leaving this morning and it gave me an opportunity to get a picture each couple.

To end this entry I wanted everyone to see that Gina has been having fun working on landscaping Mike and Pat's new house. I wanted to show you a before and after picture.
