Well, Wally will soon be snug as a bug in a rug.
We had some significant Wally wobblage on the way from Jesse's Dad's house and Warwick over Turkey Day Weekend - turned out we had two tires that were inappropriately lumpy - not flat, per se, but lumpy and concave where they should have been convex! We can't blame Wally - those tires were the originals from 1985!
Aunts and Uncles to the rescue!! We were lucky to be close by the Stovers that night, who graciously took a look at all of Wally's underbelly parts and let us crash for the night. As fate would have it, the Jan and Don C. also happened to have 2 new Wally-sized tires in Uncle Don's garage (aka Car and Motorcycle Paradise) and with a little help from our friends we got Wally fixed up for the drive home to Syracuse.
Thank you thank you Aunts and Uncles for feeding us and providing a large dose of automobile TLC. It actually ended up being a nice sojourn for us - we got to spend some more time with you guys (and got a look at Jan and Don's lovely new countertops and appliances! Whoo hoo! Next up: the flooring!) over what had been a busy holiday weekend.
So our next step will be to get a pair of snowtires to put on the back of Wally - then he will be snug as a bug in a rug for the Syracuse Winter.
Lots of love to you all - it may be a little while before we post again as I've got finals coming up on Monday. Then again, I may be desperately looking to take a break from studying, so you may hear from me after all!

Awwww, sorry you had Wally difficulties--but better when you're with family than half-way back to Syracuse!! How was Thanksgiving?? I'm so sorry we missed it/stole G&G, but we had lots of fun in Detroit with the Moneys, and it was super great to see Jimmy and Mary! :)
Best of luck with finals--this is always a really difficult time of year, but I'm sure you'll ace with flying colors! And then it's holiday fun time! :) Love you both and can't wait to see you! XOXO
