Let it snow....

Some of us are so ready for Spring..so waking up to 5+ inches of snow was alittle shocking! Rick left to plow at about 3:30 am. The snow was litterally pouring out of the sky it seemed and right now at 10:30 am it shows no sign of letting up:)

When our family discussed making a blog, we had lots of really good ideas flowing and so it is with high hopes that we come together and share our lives and thoughts-our hopes and ideas..

At present time, Rick ( the papa bear) is restoring a 1967 Camaro. He is very artistic and very thorough in this process and he really enjoys the challenge. He will be blogging on this issue somewhat and offering pics of the process along the way:) His first car, a 1968 Eleanor clone Mustang Fastback from the movie "Gone In 60 Seconds" was sold to an awesome guy in Austalia..he came all the way here and stayed with our family at Christmas time, sharing his family's traditions and learning ours. He was the oldest in his family and completely used to rambunctous little people. It was a great experience and we felt good about him taking the car--quite amazing how attached we all were to Rick's 1st project!

The next car was another Mustang- a 1968 Coup that was in premium condition when we bought it-he picked it up the same afternoon that our daughter Francie was born. Super fun car with lots of documentation and history. It sold to a gentleman, Pat, in Belgium. Another great experience for our family..he even sent over a bunch of foreigncoins for Samuel (10) who is an avid coin collector.

This car was purchased from a family in the Detroit area and it has ignited a passion for camaro's in the car lovers of the family... It is has had a complete tear down as well and is in the process of getting primered to be painted.. everything new from the interior to the weather stripping..stay tuned for pics!

This has been a wonderful experience for our whole family- it has opened alot of doors to meet people from all over the world and we have really learned alot! Some of the kids are hoping to sell this car to someone from the States..we will see how it goes!

Well, that is Rick's passion--read on to learn more on the rest of the crew..
