Our 2nd car give-away... in two years. Last time we gave a "rescued" car to a struggling single-mom in Brunswick. This time we decided to give this restored Nissan Sentra to Faith Works... so they can use it in their several missions in and around Glynn County.
Left to right: Reggie Wharton, my son Riley, me, Wright Clupepper (the head of Faithworks), & Kester Moore (my partner & boss).

Thats awesome Bronco that you guys can do that.
Mark took an awesome vacation!!!

Well the Chrome Grille for the 79 made it from the basement to the front seat of the truck but I did not get it installed. I shut down the pool and put the cover on it since the leaves are really starting to come down now. Cleaned up the yard somemore and took care of stuff around the house.

I have everything ready to lay the wood floor in the little guys room this upcoming weekend. We are ready to get it all done and all set up.

Looks like we are finally drying out a little bit till the rain comes back on Sunday. I hope to knock out the wood floor in the babys room fast and then be able to work on the 79 for a bit. My riding mower won't be fixed until next weekend.
