3/29/2011 Steve

We lost Steve suddenly the morning of 3/27/11. He was much more than a father in law to me. he was like a second dad, a confidant, and a best friend. He never turned away anyone who needed a helping hand no matter what they had done in the past. I never understood how he did it. All I know is I wish I could be more like him. I cannot imagine how things will ever be right without him. Luckily we have so many great memories of him. We rebuilt uncle Michaels 69 dart drag car together. We all went salt water fishing in Florida for Christmas. We built and wired a couple houses together. Digging a big hole in the back yard to fix the broken septic system ourselves. It was shit work but he made it as fun as it could be with jokes as Steve always did. Anyone who knew us knew we fought like cats and dogs about things it was just our way. I guess I used to get frustrated as I viewed him as someone my own age and expected him to be able to keep up with me. As much as he wanted to he was not physically able however he still ran circles around most men his age. His grand children adored him nobody was as much fun as gaga and pop pop aka Pickles. Every morning he would wait to hear my daughter to come down the stairs to be the first to see her and get his hugs and kisses. We still don’t know how to explain to a 2 year old that pickles is gone. We will all miss you Steve.

12/19/2010 Merry Christmas!

I know it has been a while since I putr any new information up on this site but with the kids and work it gets harder and harder to keep everything updated. I tend to keep the blog updated with new little nuggets of info I find to help me in the day to day. Both kids are growing like weed hard to believe that stephen is 3 months old already. Here it is a week until christmas. Our shopping is just about finished. Lauren is all excited for hoho to come. check us out on facebook for more updates specifically Lauries facebook page as she is much better about keeping things updated. Have a Merry Christmas!

8/9/2010 Fist Win with the 55

The father in law and I decided to take a ride saturday august 7th down the VA in albany for the honor the vets car show. My main goal was to hand out flyers for the Parsons car show and cruise in but I figured I may as well bring the hot rod out for a ride as well. When we arrived there were over 250 cars at the show and easily 50 corvettes. Needless to say with that much iron at the show I was not expecting to win anything. But for grins we stuck around until the end of the show and unbelievably we won a trophy! We brought home one for vets choice! Needless to say I was totally shocked with and very happy! As a bonus Steve managed to figure out why the 55s engine has been running like a bucket of crap as well and it is running perfect now! Great weekend to the 55! Thanks again Steve!
