Silver Bullet / Blue Streak



1984 Toyota Van named "Silver Bullet"



Over the years you may have heard us talk of the Silver Bullet. That is our old but trusty 1984 Toyota van and thought we would show a few pictures of how she still looks pretty good for her age… We have not replaced the Silver Bullet, but we did purchase an updated version we are now calling the Blue Streak… When we have family visit it is nice to have a ”people-hauler” available.

California trip

Nancy and I decided to head south for a visit with Jan, Al and family in Modesto. Scott and family planned to visit for Thanksgiving and we wanted to connect. We had great weather and enjoyed the chance to visit with Jan, Al, Tara and Scott. We are not sure how we managed not to take any pictures but we do have fond memories of that visit and were so glad that we were able to see Scott, though we missed seeing Megan and the girls. We know that Jan and Al had a full house and enjoyed Thanksgiving. One of the days we had arranged to meet Karen and Doug Deike who were to be in San Francisco (from Germany) visiting family and we were fortunate enough to be able to see them for a few hours. We spent most of our time walking and talking on the beach out by The Cliff House. We were so lucky to have a gorgeous late fall day. We did take time to enjoy a fine lunch overlooking the shoreline.
