New Lawn Mower

Towards the end of last mowing season, our riding lawn mower, a "gift" from mom and dad, finally gave out. My dad replaced his old riding mower with a new one about the time we moved into the house on Boston Lane. It was more than perfect timing-we live on a little over an acre so we MUST have a riding mower. Well since then we have been looking and praying for a while now, and last weekend we came across this beauty! We found it used on Craigslist (a website that runs classified type ads). Although there are some things on Craigslist to be weary of, this one, we felt was a good buy, a good mower and retails for $1200.00. The man that sold it used it for one season last year and is moving to Deleware. Jon (and Dad) went to look at it and talk to the seller and decided it was a good choice. We have now bought a dryer and a mower used off Craigslist and have been extremely blessed to get them both at VERY reasonable prices. God is always providing for us-(it just might have something to do with tithing...) This one is a 42" deck, 18.5 horsepower a Troy Bilt Bronco...(I really dont know what all that means, but when we compared it to this years model at Lowe's on Saturday I know it is a good "middle of the line model". I hope Jon has lots of fun times on it!
On an additional note, the kids are fine. Josh will be on Spring Break next week and has 4 baseball games-so Jon has requested that he be able to work in town next week. I am looking forward to some "after work" help! The boys both have baseball practice tonight. So, like always, we are busy. Kate will get her cavities filled on 4/28 so pray it goes well. She will not be able to eat or drink before her appointment because they will be giving her some type of medication to relax her, then laughing gas. Well, again, I hope soon that I will be able to post new pics next time I post, until then Cheers!
