Since fall 2015 is almost over, and 2016 and winter are just a few weeks away, I thought I had better update this blog.
I'm happy to report that Miss Tillie ran fine on several 100+ miles trips Rhoda, dog Happy, and I took earlier this fall. (Sept and Oct.)
When I first put Tillie back on the road after the restoration in the spring of 2014, I was as nervous as a cat in room full of rocking chairs...always listening for strange noises or waiting for some part to fall off while driving...I thought a 10- mile round trip was a major accomplishment !
Well, our last ride in October was a real pleasure...just listening to the song of the Bell Sport exhaust, and smelling the fresh country air at harvest time with no thought of mechanical problems.
Here are some photos ...

Sigh...all put to bed for her winter rest.
"Sam" the Simplicity snow blower is ready for duty.
We are living in some pretty stressful times, but God is still in control, and His Son Jesus is the Reason for the Season. Hope everyone has a great Christmas and a terrific New Year in 2016.
