A Garden Party

Much excitement here as we prepare for Granny and Pa's visit. Eli's room is being transformed into a guest room, which has given me the enthusiasm to clean out the closet and send some things to Goodwill. The garden is being prepared for our Sept 6th Garden Party when all my friends will be coming by to welcome Bill and Valda back to Indiana.

Stay tuned to the blog for regular updates on our adventures in September!

The new and improved BMW

Joel, with some minimal assistance from Todd, has rebuilt the engine in his car. You can see the before (left) and after (right) photos. Some of the parts were taken to a machine shop to be chemical washed and sandblasted. All of the hoses, the injectors, timing gear, water pump, thermostat and sensors were replaced as well as a general cleaning of the internals.
