I can’t believe the new year has crept up on us.  2010 is hard to believe.  To bring in the new year how about a family letter from us posted right to our blog?  I have yet to get any of these in the mail, and it might just be an e-letter this year (let’s see if I can get any of them actually printed and the mail like I hope).  We have been completely homebound for the new year as our trusty old 91 Honda Civic has been parked at the auto shop a mile away.  We towed it there Wednesday night after the battery light came on,  jumping the battery, and then dying at red light.  We couldn’t even put on our flashers.  Some nice people pulled up behind us with their flashers and drove us home (turns out it was the owner of the Canadian Honker restaurant and his wife – the tow man apparently knew him as a prominent figure in the community, we were oblivious).  The auto shop was too busy to look at the car the next day and with the new year happening they’ll get to it on Monday.  Hopefully it is just a simple alternator problem like we think.  Otherwise guess we’ll be car shopping.  Not a bad way to bring in the new year after all.

   Turns out it was just the car battery and not the alternator like we thought. The car is back to running beautifully. But getting a new car is moving up on our priority list.
