SO SORRY BIG NORM!

We've checked out YOUR work online and it looks great. Got confused with "minimad" since that post was right next to yours. OOPS.

Miniola, she can with confidence let her know that it went to a great home. It'll also have an older brother to chill with now... Or would that be a bigger younger brother? Hehe.

Ok. Yes, younger brothers can be bigger. (Just thinking of my husband's baby brother is like 6'8"- husband is 6'5"... he is a giant!)

I'm looking for a picture for you of a Mini I saw in Camden in September. It's orange.

6'11"?!?!
JC I think I'd be too scared to visit you! At 5' tall, the top of my head barely comes up to my BIL's armpit! Although it would be fun to see you fit into the Mini.

Here is the Mini I saw in Maine (Camden). Of course I did the whole "I'm not worthy" bow when we saw it coming toward us... we were driving a crappy Chevy Aveo (NOT our MINI). There is my pink troll in front (she is part of the adventures we have... I got my nieces pink trolls so I send them photos from the adventures of mine.)

We talked to the guy and he's getting a "Campbell's Tomato Soup" label to cover his entire roof. The color looks more orange red in the picture but in person it looked more orange like the "Moxie" label.

I heard about a guy that was looking for a gas leak at his mom's house by lighting a match... house blew up! Was that you?

I looked on the site again and was just watching the video (7th down from the top I think) about some of the history- showed turning capabilities in the cones. Anyway, the car that he is driving... I want wheels like that for my '08 Cabrio- painted Pepper White with a chrome center cap. Know any ways to do that?

All kidding aside, I think it was really cool that she gave you the car, and even cooler that you are passing it on to someone who will appreciate it. Kudos to both of you!

Apple, does Mon or thurs work better for you? Both flights land at 9 PM... I'm looking into others at the moment, though. I think the location will change what time I land.

It may be Vermillion Red which is really more like a tangerine color. That's what my wagon is...

Trust me, I would never take this for granted. I can wait till Thursday if it makes things easier. I just figured there would be less traffic during the week, but honestly, I could care less. The trip home is going to be fun I also have an uncle who lives in Plant City (2 hours away), so if I need to, I can stay with him as well...
