Seeing Double - 2006 Scion xB RS 3.0


In 2006 the special release version of the 2006 Scion xB was called Release Series 3.0. They made 2200 of them and they were all Envy Green. Each one of them has a identification plate on the dash. Ours is numbered 201 in the series. What are the chances that two of them would be in the same small town?

Evidently the odds are pretty good. We have seen four of them in relatively small places that we have been too in the last year. One lives in Lolo, Montana. One lives in Paducah, Kentucky. One lives in Fair Hope, Alabama. And one lives right here in Waynesville, Ohio!

We saw the one in Waynesville right after we bought ours last May. Thursday we were in town and spotted the other one parked near the post office. I pulled in behind it and Kelly Jo got out and snapped a few pictures with my phone. Pretty cool, huh?

It is a little different than ours. Ours has updated wheels, updated tail lights and several updated dents and  scratches. Ours even has a front bumper that has been "kissed" by Bambi before she scampered off into the night. Other than those few things, they are exactly alike!

Later in the day we were at my parents house. The driveway was nearly full so I pulled up into the side yard. We came out in the evening to leave and we had lost the Green Machine. It was hidden in the beautiful green grass. I kept pushing Odie around the yard in her wheel chair until we finally bumped into the car.



It is a good thing it was not eaten by a grasshopper!

My Dad is home and doing well. He has long road of recovery ahead but God has helped him tremendously. Thank you so much for praying for him.

Ozark Bible Institute Overcomers

Update from Odie:

Great news!!!! My Papaw was able to come home this afternoon. He is glad to be home. Thanks again for your prayers. I know he appreciates them. Papaw told me yesterday, when I would  tell him about friends checking on him, "tell them I'm still alive." He needs lots of rest. I may have to tie him down to keep him from over doing it. We are thankful he is on the mend.

The Overcomer choir from OBI were singing again in the area Wednesday night. Aunt Karen and Isaac allowed me to ride with them to the service. I was glad for the chance to hear the choir again.

My cousin Deidre Boggs is in the choir this year. Deidre just completed her freshman year at OBI. I am so proud of her!!! She testified great last night. If you get the chance to see the choir on this tour she is the tall blonde in the soprano section.

Several of my friends also are in the choir. It was so good to see all of them. One family I was glad to see was Bro. Alex and Sis. Jessie Cooper. Both have been my friends for a long time. Now they have the addition of Bodie to their little family. He was was born premature last fall. Bodie is a precious miracle!!!

Here are some pictures from last night.

Odie Update


Hey I thought I'd drop by for a quick howdy. First of all thanks for all the prayers for my Papaw yesterday. Please keep them coming!!! As dad said, surgery was a success, but now the rough recovery progress begins. It is about more than I can stand to see Papaw suffer. I am a Papaw's Girl!!!!!

I did not get pictures of everyone who came to check on him yesterday at the hospital. It was a long day. The picture of Victor sleeping was early in the morning. Many of our family and friends were there throughout the day. Several of our Dryden Road church family work at the hospital. They were there checking on our family and that means the world to me.

Monday night I got to spend some time with my cousin Lisa. Thanks for praying for her too. She is feeling a lot better! She is still dealing with some pain, but we are thankful for progress!!! We enjoyed just chatting over a Frappe on Monday.

Last night I tagged along with my Uncle Steve & Aunt Karen to church. We went to Bro. David Miller's Campmeeting. The choir from Ozark Bible Institute was there singing. Which means I got to see lots of friends. I did not get tons of pictures. I even forgot to get one with Deidre. Hopefully I will see her again before she leaves town.

Two churches from Hawaii were represented at the meeting. They also sang really good. An added surprise for me was getting to see the Martin Family. We are looking forward to tent revival with them in North Dakota.

Well I will close for now.
