Yesterday was...buisy!

We started yesterday with the singular mission of getting Jamey a motorcycle so that he could ride to work thus enabling him to both use the carpool lane saving time and save gas...which is three elevin a gallon. We also got my truck back from the repair shop.

It was a lovely day really, just one of those where you never seem to stop. We spent some time at Bent Bike but they did not want to help Jamey. We went to Cycle Barn but were not approved, so we came home and then Jamey found a NightHawke for sale in Kingston. So we went out again!

In order to get there we had to take the Ferry, which we have not done before in the truck. It is such a chore for most of the commuters, but for us desert rats it was a real fun time! The kiddos just love the Ferry, and despite my trepidations( not being able to swim should the worst occur!) I really love it as well! ;) I had wanted to see Kingston anyway and my goodness but it is beautiful! A lush peaceful island feel dotted with colourful artisticly kept homes. Even the buisness' seem to be a colourful lot.
The couple that we got the NH from were so nice and lived in a big blue and purple house with a lovely garden of Japanese Maple,Iris the colours of the house, and daisys. The trees were left to grow wild and were towers of green between them and their neighbors houses. Truely I could not see that they had any! All went well untill we got back to the dock and the motorcycle would not start...dead battery! But they let him push it on board and tried to help get it going. He had to push it to the Skippers Restaurant when we got to the other side, and then we had dinner while he worked on it. I wanted him to buy a new battery, but they do not come charged and it takes all night to charge them!!! Ridiculous! We decided to nurse it home by pulling to the side of the road and jumpstarting it everytime it died. Honestly! I thought at one point like we would not manage it. When we got home he parked the bike behind our Caddy and took the truck and Sara to get the rest of the stuff he needed. It was already past Paddy and Ethans bedtime and they had had no nap, so I just put them to bed and they went right to sleep! Soon enough Jamey and Sara were home and needless to say, we all slept really well last night! :) But he has his bike and it runs nicely. So all is well! ((Pictures to follow!))
