A Train in my Living Room

I have a train in my living room.

The Aiden train equipped with comfortable rubbermaid, foot stool and chair cushion accommodations. Passage isn't free, you do have to buy a ticket. Proceeds are collected in Sheriff Woody's hat, but your hard earned dollars get you a seat on one of the fastest locomotives my living room can bring you. In fact this train made no less than eight trips direct from Mt. Vernon to Colorado this afternoon with fuel stops in Le Mars.

Maintenance was only needed once and was fixed quickly with Daddy's socket set. No worries - there are no long lay overs at this hub. And while you enjoy your ride you can read a "blue, orange, or green book" of your choice, or if you so desire relax to the tunes of our sunshine music car. :)

Pets are of course allowed in the well cushioned caboose.

Hope you enjoyed your ride!!

We are all trying to make the best of our long winter indoors...trying to wait patiently for the Iowa snow to melt.

Here are a couple of short video's of Jude. He has learned to mimic my "ahhhh" noise after throwing back one of my eight glasses of water a day. I'm really hoping I don't have the same drool situation he has going on in this video. :)

And we're working on saying a few words. "Thank-you" really started to sound recognizable today. :)
