New Car

A few months ago, the car I bought back in November was totaled. Bode and I were out driving in the rain, and we did not realize there was a very large puddle; long story short, water can really wreck a car. Hence, this car is no longer part of the McGuirk fleet.

For the past few weeks, I have been driving the Jeep, and this really irritates Ashley because she can't be expected to drive just one car (the 370Z); she needs to have options when she goes out to the garage. I'd been looking around but hadn't had much luck until this past weekend. I got a 2021 BMW 330i; the best part is the car only has 5200 miles.

We did not do much this Memorial Day. Bode is done with school, so he is starting the summer swim season. He's practiced a couple times, and we also lifted (ugh--I am sore). Sunday afternoon, we did a low country boil on the patio.

The dogs seem to enjoy it when we are outside, although we did have to keep Rowdy away from the food.

I don't imagine we will do much more today other than lounge around the house and relax :-) 

Mother's Day

 We took Ashley to the Goofy Golf and also to the Waffle House for mother's day. I took some pictures, but nothing was too spectacular.

Here is one of Bode mid-shot.

At the end, I videoed Ashley and Bode's attempt at the snake's mouth. Bode was irked in that I interrupted his first attempt.
I think Bode beat us rather badly. I certainly did not have my A-game. But we did our best to cheer up at the Waffle House.
We didn't do much else on Mother's Day. We told Ashley she could put off the laundry and cleaning until Monday :-)
