A new car
We are buying a new car for our trip. Which means we need to sell my car. I loved that car. It was a sporty silver convertible and after years of driving a van, I loved it. Even in Rochester where the winters are long and spring is almost non existent. Getting rid of most of our things has been wonderful. I am holding onto so few things from our home and have not a moment's regret. I am so ready for this new start of our life. But the car gave me pause. I didn't want to part with it and so my lovely husband said, "Then don't. We'll put it in storage." And I breathed a sigh of relief. And so on to buy a car for our trip. Either a Buick or Chrsyler sedan. We will call this vehicle home for a lot of months. We choose the Buick but when I look at the trunk, it is so small that it takes my breath away. Again, I turn to husband and say, "We need an SUV." He researches. He's very good at this and now we buy a Buick crossover SUV. Great- until the plant goes on strike and we go on a mad nightly car hunt and finally find a Saturn SUV. Love it. I am now ready to sell my car and in 4 days it has a new home. And I have another car that is perfect for this time of my life.
