Found this little beauty making it's way across my driveway and Winnie was fascinated and a little afraid!
Winnie has adapted to her big beautiful yard and all of the fun adventures that come along with it. I'm always praying that she'll stay away from the main road, but she does make her way down there fairly regularly.
Thankfully the walkway with the fire-hydrant is on our side of the road so that solves quite a bit of the potential wandering.
She's a delightful little companion and makes a nice lawn ornament, finding her way into far too many pictures, be we are having fun!
There was another cousin connection on the back patio with dear Esther!
So nice to be able to spend time outside together - drinking in as much summer sun and balmy air before our wonderful summer draws to a close.
(I am always too aware of the impending cooler weather so I reeeeally try to suck the marrow out of our warm seasons!!)
Daniel had a free weekend so he came up and the timing was perfect.
Patrice had returned my car to me with hand controls installed and then went back to Surrey and Elsie had gone to a Church Camp for the weekend so I had help looking after Mom in the interim.
I decided this was perfect timing to get the controls put into my car since John with all of his electronic expertise was available.
Daniel worked on getting the roof rack moved while John did the electrical part.
It took WAY longer than I expected so I was incredibly grateful that the guys were able to work into the dark and get it DONE!
So many superstars in my life to keep me rolling!
VOILA!
Here is the finished product
It took a while, and a lot of extra man-power to get the car to a drive-able state for me but now I'm very gratefully ready to roll, hoping I won't have to get a new car for a very long time!
WHEW!

When my friend Grace found out I had new wheels, she suggested that we do a trip to the Penticton museum to celebrate.
She broke BOTH of her wrists in the Spring and has been quite house-bound during her recovery so it was a lovely day to go for a drive.
Discovered some local history and enjoyed meeting an artist and admiring the paintings.
We took a little stroll along the lake
and Grace treated me to a delicious lunch from the bakery.
My car often doubles as a restaurant so I get some pretty stellar views with my meals!
My new Holy Roller did not disappoint and we arrived home safely, but not before enjoying this lovely vision below at a stop light!
Pretty much made my day.
