Manhattan Day Trip

We went to Manhattan today to fix Brandon's car. He had problems with the battery a few weeks ago, and then he had more problems. Trying to diagnose the problem from here we thought it might be the alternator. The boys found a refurbished one and bought it. Thank goodness they asked if they could return it if necessary.

Corby found loose wires to the battery that the boys replaced. It wasn't really their fault, as they didn't have any good tools to use.


The boys both got home from classes shortly after we arrived.


We got the battery all fixed up, and we hope that solved the problem.


Took the boys to Old Chicago for lunch. Kaleb had to work at 1, Brandon decided to switch his work day from today to Friday, so he was off. After Kaleb headed off to work we ran over to Best Buy (driving Brandon's car so we could test drive).


I bought The Town on Blu-Ray (yes, we finally got a blu-ray player). I bought the special package that included the Blu-Ray, the regular DVD and one digital copy for $13.99. The funny thing? They had just the Blu-Ray version for $19.99! Go figure!


Brandon also loaned us RED and INCEPTION on Blu-Ray, so we have some movie watching to do over the next few weeks.


Really enjoyed visiting with the boys today, and I so hope that Brandon finds a job in Wichita! He wants to come home!

Margaritaville!

We had a wonderful get-together at On the Border this afternoon. The margaritas were great! Of course, I was the only one drinking - and I'm not even much of a drinker. It was great seeing my niece, Lenore and my nephew, Nick. Even though Nick lives here, I don't get to see him much, as his work hours prevent us from seeing much of each other. We did make a pact to get together and see a movie over the Thankgiving holiday. We will be going to Oklahoma on Thanksgiving to spend it with Charles, but I'll have to come back Thanksgiving night as I have to work on Friday. Here are some pictures from our afternoon out. Kaleb with Nick (Brandon provided Kaleb's rabbit ears)... Kaitlin and Brandon Mom, Terry, Sandy and Lenore Lenore and Mike Ryan and Diana Diana in her Garth t-shirt (I can't wait until tomorrow night!) Me with my sister Rhonda Mom and Lenore THE WHOLE CREW minus me - I'd rather be taking the picture! We are childless tonight, as Brandon went to a concert...
