Valentine’s Day isn’t one of the biggest holidays at the Lambert’s but we did do some celebrating by going to the church for dinner. The Youth group was sponsoring a dinner to make some money for their projects. One of the adults did the cooking but the youth waited tables and cleaned up afterwards. Dinner was really good – the appetizers were brueschetta and stuffed mushrooms, with a main course of lasagna, green beans and breadsticks. Dessert was a choice of cheesecake, chocolate cake or carrot cake. I chose the carrot cake - it’s one of the few non-chocolate things I really love. They drew names for door prizes – I got a scented candle and Randy won some bottle of herbal hair conditioner. Plus everyone got chocolate-covered strawberries at the end. So it was a really nice evening.
Randy also got me a box of chocolates, which I am trying to make last at least one week – we’ll see how that goes.
We bought a new car. I loved my Camary but there were several reasons why we got rid of it. It was 9 years old and it had 143,000 miles but the biggest reason is that we cannot tow it behind the RV. We needed something we can tow, and we wanted something big enough to fit the bikes in. We had been looking at Jeep Comanches and Jeep Commanders. We found a 2006 Commander Jeep with about 28,000 miles on it. It’s cherry red with a grey interior and it’s in great condition. It’s bigger to drive than the Camary, but not too big. We both really like it and we got a great deal. If anyone wants to buy a car, now is the time to do it! It is definitely a buyer’s market now.
