So glad to have you take the time to read and comment Lizzle. I to also believe that God alsways has a bigger plan and had the neighbor decided to sell that car years before I may not have been in a financial position to purchase it from her... so I firmly believe that we need to acknowledge that we are on God's timeline and not ours.
Governments, no matter where they are, are organized criminals in my opinion but we only have ourselves to blame here in the USA because it was our duty to keep them in line and serving us and protecting our rights. Which was the entire scope of government from the start in the USA.
The Corvette is really in amzing shape and because it sat so long there is quite a bit of work to do to get it back on the road. The girls ( Blondie & Shortie) are really excited about it and they have big plans for using it. The only thing they don't like about it is that it doesn't have cup holders for drinks. I will be doing a blog about it when it is back on the road but last weekend was a big step forward as we actually started it for the first time and it moved under its own power for the frist time in over 30 years. The engine runs fine and the transmission shifted without any issues so that is a big sigh of relief.
We are doing as well as can be expected health wise but the normal issues that go along with Ehlers-Danlos persist.
Hope and pray the best for your family and God guides you well,
