Goodbye June Bug

November 24, 2014November 25, 2014 / Katybeth / 12 Comments

Every Volkswagen Bug has a story. Hindsight: I never should have agreed to let Cole buy a Volkswagen Bug to restore for his senior project. Honest to God, it didn’t seem crazy at the time; looking back, it seems like I lost my mind. Idealism: My kid sold me on the idea that he could … Continue reading Goodbye June Bug

★~♥~♥~★~ El Morno! ♥~★~★~♥ ~ March 2, 2014 "Mom, the Bug has reduced me to quoiting Shakespeare, run over me please." I was so late writing El Morno for this Morno, I just decided to write El Morno for tomorrow Morno. If you are confused welcome to my world. Cole wrote the story about our … Continue reading Shakespeare meets VW BUG

VW Bug Door to Door Campaign

February 21, 2014February 21, 2014 / Katybeth / 7 Comments

The VW Bug owner (my dear son) decided he wanted more autographs on the June Bug from families at his school. The problem was how to best reach everyone. Postage is expensive, and I wasn’t comfortable with the idea of using the e-mail addresses provided in the school directory. Those e-mails are for setting up … Continue reading VW Bug Door to Door Campaign

Lapping The Bug

February 19, 2014February 19, 2014 / Katybeth / 14 Comments

Lapping the Bug! You don't know what that means? Well, neither did I until Cole showed me on the TV program Top Gear. Click over to his blog for the video and pictures. I make no apologies for his helmet hair. I over cheered. It's called nerves, friends. And excitement! We had so much FUN! Yes, … Continue reading Lapping The Bug

Team VW BUG!

Chicago Parking Bitch

October 13, 2013October 13, 2013 / Katybeth / 7 Comments

Chicago Parking Bitch A few week ago, I was running an errand downtown, when I arrived at the store, “no parking signs” announced it was street cleaning day. Fortunately, I had planned ahead for parking problems and bribed my teen driver (Cole) into coming along for the ride with the promise of a lox and … Continue reading Chicago Parking Bitch

Noticing The Good

August 27, 2013August 27, 2013 / Katybeth / 16 Comments

On Monday, Cole and I had planned to head to Dearborn, Michigan, to visit the Henry Ford Museum and other car attractions for the day. I was looking forward to the field trip, but when Darby, the VW Midwest Bug expert, called and said he would look at the June Bug’s engine and tweak as … Continue reading Noticing The Good

Life’s a Challenge, Isn’t It?

August 18, 2013 / Katybeth / 13 Comments

Camp Run-a-Pup is in full swing from Memorial Day through Labor Day, and a tail- wagging good time is had by all. People and pups are coming and going from sun up until way past sun down; there is never a dull moment. I juggle food dishes and referee who gets the deer antlers, click … Continue reading Life’s a Challenge, Isn’t It?

VW Bug Innards on My Kitchen Counter

July 15, 2013July 15, 2013 / Katybeth / 9 Comments

VW Bug Innard: This has been sitting on my counter for the last two weeks. I don't really mind. Much. Last night, I wrote a Facebook status that read,“You know you are tired when your kid and his friend walk by you, each carrying a blow torch, and you don’t ask what they are doing.” … Continue reading VW Bug Innards on My Kitchen Counter

Road Warrior Fatigue, El Morno Delayed, Admire Our Flamingos

June 25, 2013June 25, 2013 / Katybeth / 10 Comments

I left Vickie (our friend and camp helper) in charge of Camp-Run-A-Pup yesterday, and headed out on a day trip with Cole to look at a Volkswagon Beetle he found to work on for his senior project. One Beetle turned into two and 800 miles later, our day trip was successfully completed. I'll tell you … Continue reading Road Warrior Fatigue, El Morno Delayed, Admire Our Flamingos
