This past weekend I attended a wedding in Destin, Florida. Our best friends daughter was married on May 31st on the beach! It was very beautiful. The sun was shining, the breeze was blowing and the young couple were in love! They both understood the meaning of a vow and that marriage is supposed to be a covenant between two people and God.

Gm filed for bankruptcy today which will mean that in the short run people will have some insecurity, but in the long run GM will not only survive but thrive. The truth is Chevrolet has some of the best cars and trucks on the market right now! I have never seen so many quality offerings from Chevrolet at one time. Quality and great gas mileage combine with great style and locks make the long term outlook for Chevy very promising.

The month of May is has been busy!!!! Lots of people have been in and bought cars and trucks over the last five days. Maybe the economy is on the verge of taking off!!!!!!!

Did you know the human brain weighs less than three pounds and is mainly water? Yet it is capable of speaking 130 words per minute and thinking at a rate of over 1300 per minute! At that speed it is no wonder my dreams that last for only a minute or less seem to go on and on for hours! The problem researchers tell is that 70% of our thought are negative!

Most of us are guilty of irresponsible thinking. We believe the lie that as long as we only think about something and do not act on it that it doesn't harm any one. The truth is all that negativity harms us! It is important not only what we think about every moment of every day but also what we allow to get into our minds on a daily basis. Positive thoughts make us positive people. Negative thoughts make us negative people. But before you tune this out as just another speech on positive thinking, I also invite you to consider where does positive come from? Think about that for a while and maybe we will get to it one day in another blog!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!

THERE IS NO WAY TO THANK THE MEN, WOMEN AND THEIR FAMILIES ENOUGH THAT ARE IN HARM'S WAY TODAY OR SOON WILL BE!

Automotive News today says the government task force wants to make GM and Chrysler have the same number of stores as Toyota in a metro area.?

The Wall Street Journal today says the government is lending billions to GMAC and may own GMAC in a few months.

???????????? Weird times in the American economy for sure.

On the bright side GM just announced "zero" percent financing on certain models!!! The weather is turning warmer and sunnier, and I get to see my grand children this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are getting ready for a big Memorial Day Sale! We have discounted a lot of our new and used vehicles and are looking forward to a great weekend and close out in May.

On another subject do you like to grill outside? You have to go to green egg.com and get the recipe fr the big time barbecue rub! It is fantastic. Speaking of food... if you are looking for a great new place to eat try "The Kitchen" on Brookhaven Circle!! Great prices and dishes from different countries in Europe!!
