Bo's New Toy!

Bo has been wanting a dirt bike for a long time. I could not tell you how many Thrifty Nickels have come through our home or how many times I have been summoned to the computer to look at a 'Sweet Bike' on Craigslist. Bo is extremely careful with his money and now that he has a job he decided that it was time to get that bike he had always wanted. This is easier said than done! Bo had come across a listing for a bike that fit all of his criteria AND was in his price range. He made the call and decided to head down to Nyssa to take a look. The night before he was to make the trip he was a nervous wreck. Spending his hard earned money and that much of it all in one place had him hoping and praying that this bike was worth the drive. We received the call, 'I am the proud owner of a dirt bike!' and beieve me I could see his smile through the phone and of course the Mom in me took over and asked, 'You are going to stop and get a helmet, right?'. I am thankful for having this big kid in my life I am proud of the person he has become. I am extremely happy for him to get to enjoy something that he will not take for granted. When he came home from his first tour of Cuddy Mountain on his new toy he was smiling as he said 'It was worth EVERY penny!'. And he did purchase that helmet on the way home!!
