'78 mercury zepher

my husband is a very hard worker. he is working five 10hr shifts right now, and two 8hr saturdays a month. when he gets home he puts wood in the wood boiler. then he fixes things. then he plays with his son for a bit and puts him to bed. then he goes downstairs and works on finishing andy's basement bedroom. then he goes to bed.

except... lately he's been "scrapping". the price of scrap metal has gone up. that means a nice price at the recycling place. so, dan has been cruising the area looking for junk cars to take in for cash! really, who thinks of these things? he got one car and 4 hours later he had it sold to the recycling place for more than triple what he paid.

what is really cool is that the other day he got this "junk" car for $20. it is a '78 mercury zepher. it is red with a white hardtop and white pinstripes. he got it running and washed it and i am totally in love. i am hoping he lets me drive it for the summer. andy and i took turns driving it up and down the driveway. i was doing burnouts by my grandparent's house.

here is a photo of dan... working of course. this was after a big snowstorm this spring. i took this photo right out the kitchen door.
