Getting Ready for Christmas

An update from Rylee & Ruston as they get ready for Christmas.

Ranger doing his best to 
hold still.

Look what Reganne found.
More dogs!

Come visit Grease Monkey!!
Maybe share some popcorn with us.

Welcome!
How can we help you?

Catching a nap.
Having a van to stretch out in 
is the best.


Ruston is amazing
a new hobby making jewelry.

Encouraging Ryder to try
as well.

I do believe the
the dogs wore him out.

It's going to be a fun month. Bring it on!!

Kickoff Weekend

To the holiday season! What better way to start Black Friday than shopping at the mall.

Must be a great sale
at Bath & Body Works

Ryder trying to decide 
which service to purchase.

Proud mom moment!!
Spending his own money to share with others.

Dave has been busy
His new creation a wooden tree.

Time to decorate
Not sure which is worse taking down decorations
or 
putting new ones up.
It's all alot of work.

A Day of Service

Dave, Rylee, Ruston, and Ryder
Built this swing set for a family in need.

They did a good job!

Notice anything wrong with this picture?
Walmart employee delivered my pickup order.
44 pounds of dog food on top of my groceries.

Happy Thanksgiving

It starts early at our house. First thing on Dave's list is putting up the Christmas lights.

Ryder has been replaced as #1 Helper.
A 30 plus year old Ernst Apron that doesn't talk back or argue.

This could be dangerous!
Ruston & Ryder getting ready to deep fry a turkey.
Dave supervising

Looking good!!

Loving the wildlife
Look really close to see the wild rabbits.

Final touches
The food was delicious!

Ken & Dave 
Clean up duty.

Thank you, Rylee & Ruston for inviting us to come over. It was fun getting to know Ruston's extended family. Shared my Orange Fluff and made a friend for life with Ken. The only downside to not eating at home is not having any leftovers for the next couple of days. Maybe I should cook us a turkey on Sunday.

It's A Dream

Come True!! The boys are headed to Las Vegas for the Mecum Auto Auction. They are both excited for the 3 day event.

As seen on tv.
Ryder is hard at work trying to decide 
which car to bid on.

Pass to bid
This could be expensive.

Ryder got a good deal selling
his black on black Cadillac

Yellow Slip
or Proof of purchase.

However, the deal fell through when the owner couldn't provide a valid title. All that hard work with only the yellow slip to prove it. He did come home with all his money.  Dave on the other had was successful and didn't come home with his money. Instead he drove home a Porsch Boxer.
