RayS Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) The good family news is that the family is growing. This weekend, plus a couple of days, was a fun filled event for my oldest daughter and her husband who had their baby shower. This will be our first grandchild and we are most certainly looking forward to the family growing. We'll be expecting our grandchild around Christmas and with any luck our son-in-law won't get deployed between now and the arrival. In celebration we hosted about 30 guests for an extended weekend and everyone had a great time with the family and friends that hadn't all been together since their wedding about 10 years go. Along with the daughter being spoiled, the wife's new custom shed arrived on Saturday. We did have to ask our daughter if the child was going to look like her, since the wife's shed looks like a child of my garage. Hard to believe the wife's new shed is a 10x12 and could fit through my door since it is only 8' 9" high. It will end up being a true She Shed, fully insulated, plywood walls and whatever else she wants for her storage and plant stuff. I'm not sure if it will get heat and air, but it is already wired, so I know it will have power. I need to get the interior completed, skirting put on, flower boxes under the windows and whatever else the wife wants, so it will make for a nice winter project in addition to spoiling the first grandchild.

Rich Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Congratulations Ray !! Grandkids are the best kind of kids. We're blessed with two who will be 16 and 13 in Nov. and Dec. BAD thing is, the one in December is the day after Christmas. Daughter and granddaughter are in Nov, grandson and son in law are both in Dec.....so include Christmas in those two months, and I'm pretty much broke come January. Hey, if you're like me, you'll spend your last penny to make them smile. Best thing in the world. The garage turned out great! ONE big garage door is the one thing I wish I had. Having two can be a pain when I'm moving cars around. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the inside...............and that new baby. Keeping your son in law in prayer, and please thank him, from this old Veteran, for his service and sacrifice. rkj4243 and RayS 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayS Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 @Rich Actually I have trying to determine if I should go with traditional wax or a coating on the Barbie car. As for a Mustang, she has to wait until she's 17 - I figure if a Mustang Convertable was good enough for my duaghter to drive to school her senior year at 17, it should be good enough for my grand daughter. Of course If @falcaineer would tell Mary that I should get another Mustang to restore, I could get started on it now - Mary always agrees with whatever Chris says I should get. falcaineer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should get two Mustangs. One to restore for you and Mary, the other for the future grandchild. 😉😁 RayS and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
