The new truck

So, we've had an ongoing truck drama in our house for months now. For those of you that remember Mike's old truck, it was his "dream truck". It was a 2001 Ford F150 Lariat truck. He absolutely loved that truck. But, he had been complaining about the poor gas mileage over the last few years. Fast forward awhile...my grandfather in Washington purchased a 5th wheel trailer not long before he had to move into an assisted living home, so we are now the proud owners of a small, but very nice, 5th wheel trailer. Mike's truck just wasn't equipped to pull the trailer, so.....we sold it, and borrowed a neighbor's vehicle while we searched for a new truck. Well, not new, but new to us. This is what we found: a 1999 Ford F350 Diesel. We love it!! And, it gets way better gas mileage so Mike is very happy!



































That's the trailer in the background. Hopefully once I get it all situated I'll put some pics on here of it.


























New tires and rims























I love the camo carseat covers (he has used them for 9 years and couldn't part with them) and the Harley Davidson floor mats. Pretty much covers my husband's favorite hobbies!
