I'm thinking of going private blog.

We have a long road ahead.  I'm thinking of going private, since after tracking, I can not figure out who is keeping up with the Piepers.  Message me your email if you'd like  to continue seeing the blog.

Rick's Birthday

Rick requested a day of just family and grandparents.  His meal Italian greens, Lasagna, corn in a butter garlic sauce, with garlic bread.  And for his cake....

A Cherry cheesecake, leaving a portion for Ray man with no topping.
He said other than Ray man's bizarre behavior, it was all good.  We all love his visits home.  He just likes being home.

Good Bye Dream! 7-28-2010

My precious motor ~ Lots of hours

I know it sounds funny but saying goodbye to friends, pets, and now my toy just = a sad Piepee.
Some will say it's just a car.  But wait it was my release.  A place I could go be myself and just work.  I've been waiting to hear the roar of a v8 again.  When life was too much ~ I found my dream made me smile.  And now it is gone.  The happy point it went to someone who will have it ready for the university cruise, not finished but my engine installed and tranny.  So I will get to see it in motion.  Really have I said this before I wish 2010 to be gone.

The new Improved Piepee

The new hair color.  I'm into a size 10 yeah!  Came to the conclusion my new scale was off.  According to the doc I'm 160 according to my scale 180 this week.  Argh!!!!!!!!!!!  The quitting smoking has not gone so well.  But I'm trying at this point to take 2 drags when I have the urge and put it out.  Because low and behold I appear to be allergic to the darn patch.

Rick's Birthday

Well we are trying to set up for Rick's birthday.  I'm going to ask anyone who choses to but him gifts this year to keep in mind he can not have personal items where he is.  So shirt size is large.  He likes funny sayings (Just make sure it is appropriate for where he is at)  Kawasaki Chevys Mustangs animals if it is a tshirt.  Loves the button down shirts and polos. Colors blue Burgandy white black.  Jeans~ pants are 14 regular. Also loves aeropostle clothing.   As he can not keep money or gift cards in his possession, anything he gets will go to his bank account for what he wishes.  Those wishing to join us just let me know.  Birthday cards of love are always perfect.  I figured this would be the easiest way to reach everyone.  As I hate requesting specific things for myself or my children.  But in his position I knew I would need to get the word out.  He is doing well.  And wants to come home.  I so miss him as we all do.  I will set up a date for the party.  It is fantastic we have off campus visits again.  Working towards overnights.  And eventually home.
