thank you bonnie McQueen

a few days ago i noticed down the street from us, this darling little metal car in our neighbors garage and thought to myself... i need to do my research on the net and try to find something similar. just last night tanner and i past the house and saw she was in her garage. tanner looked at me saying... i should ask where she found that!!?? we rolled down the window and ask. she walks towards us and says with this darling southern accent (i think?) and a darling a line cut with silver hair but she's one of those beauty's that are young and classy with a beautiful face (iv always hoped to pull that off some day!!). she then replies.... im looking to get rid of it, you know you can have it my daughter ava has out grown it and im cleaning out my garage, you can have it. i thought i was dreaming and of coarse we said....no, we can't just take it....she then insisted kindly, no really take it! when we pulled up to our drive way i squealed like a little piggy, i was so excited!!! it was hard to get chloe to bed last night, she was white knuckling the steering wheel she lovens it!!!

thank you bonnie!!

Something about antiques makes things so much cuter!! We found a little metal radio flyer for Dylan and i cried when i drove away with it thinking of him riding it!! Brings us back to our childhood in a way i think!! She looks darling in it what a nice neighbor!!

That is awesome. Seriously where do you find something that cute?, I guess in a darling neighbors garage, i agree with nana bless Bonnie Mcqueens heart.

That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I especially love her swanky little feathers blowing in the wind as she cruises along.

It's like out of a story book..."the little silver car that came to Chloe's house." She's so darling in it....those eyes, those sweet pictures at Christmas with Nana lew and Papa are precious. This is such a sweet way for her to be able to learn about how much her aunts, uncles, cousins and nana,papa all loved her when she was too young to remember, but old enough to giggle in the snow and ride a silver car "into the sunset." I sure do miss you all. Happy Birthday Charee, tomorrow. I'll be calling. love and kisses, auntie
