Crusin' the cornfields

Living in Iowa has necessitated a few changes.

1. Sticky is still clean. I am now okay with the companionship of damp clothing and don't have to shower after every trip I make outside. It is humid here. All humans beings, male and female, young and old are going to feel nasty. Welcome to the Midwest. The beans and corn love it. Have another bomb pop, they're nice n' smooth.


2. Gotta have a truck, the ol' VW doesn't get r' done any more. So... for the sake of my father's sanity here is a picture of our new Iowa wheels. We have found it to be a bit of a necessity in owning 6 acres covered in trees. She hauls firewood, old dilapidated dog houses and goes fishing with the best of them. Jonathan says she needs a boat for a companion. We found one for $1500 that the owners swore still worked. I'm sure it would have been fun, but Ms. Practical Britches says a few more student loans have to go first. So Dad - here's the 2008 Chevy Silverado... equipped with diapers and wipes in the front console.

My husband would be jealous if he saw this post. At least you guys have a good excuse to own one of those. Very nice.
