Dave what happened to the foster dogs? Do you still have them?

Well, since the announcement has gone out, I best tell those that don't know.

Catherine and I have a new mechanic-in-training on the way. She's about 14 weeks along at this stage.

 

Congrats to you and Catherine on the announcement of the family addition, Josh...

 

Congratulation to you all and your growing family!

 

Thanks Tony,

Thanks Bob.

The family needs to quit growing. I feel like I'm singing the 12 days of Christmas every time I talk about it. 4 cats, 3 kids 1 dog, 1 baby on the way, and a bearded dragon (which is currently in Catherine's classroom thankfully!) That's it!! No MORE!!!

 

We had a vary bad issue with a foster dog and 1 of ours so not to have that happen again we started fostering kittens & cats but mostly kittens.

Congrats to you and Catherine on the "new mechanic on the way".

Thanks Dave. Hoping everything goes smoothly for the next several months. Just trying to stay out of the way and out of trouble.

 

We have a guy here in town that is a great Santa Claus. He goes to Hospitals, Retirement Homes, and has even been Santa inside of peoples houses and will let kids get a glimps of Santa during the night. His family also puts on a display like we do (ours is better) and he ask's nothing for these things, just the smiles.
So, Wheeldon Family Lights (facebook page, tell all of your friends to like it, we need the likes) is paying back Santa for what he does for this city. I throw away nothing if I think I, or somebody else can use it. So along with what I've saved up from different projects, and a trip to our local hardware store (no discount, no name mentioned, I tried) we're giving Santa his own chair, that hopefully he can use for several years.
It isn't finished yet, there a butt load of sanding to do, and yes it will end up with some lights on it, it has to, we're Christmas guy's.
Tomorrow and Saturday evening, Lexington is having it's yearly trolley tours through the town to look at Christmas lights/displays, and Santa will be here tomorrow evening. And we'll officially give Santa his chair tomorrow evening, if I get back in the garage and get it finished.....

It's stands a solid 7' tall, and 40" wide, just the right size for the big guy, and a little or big kid.

Unk Bob

 

Likes on both of this years videos for you, Bob...
That chair will be awesome...

 

Well we gave Santa his chair this last Friday evening.
Now, if he'd get it out of my garage.

 

Very nice Bob! I think that puts you off the naughty list this year, and just in time!

Merry Christmas all! A lot has happened since last Christmas and most of it good. Good wishes and blessings on all of you!
