Our 2006 Dodge Grand CaravanNothing too fancy, but to me it's heaven.
In June torrential rains and bad luck ended up with our Mercury Sable's engine flooded and ultimately a totaled vehicle. This happened:
- three weeks after spending a chunk of change to get said car repaired for our cross-country travels,
- four days after closing on our house,
- and two days after buying a new second car.
With a baby to be born soon and Matt's residency not even begun yet, I opted to wait a while to find a second vehicle. I thought being without a car would be awful. Surprisingly, it wasn't bad. I've learned I'm actually quite content being at home a lot. I admire the families that can get by with one vehicle, but I don't think anyone wants to discover what would happen to me if I were cooped up in our house during the long winter months!
Today was a good day. Not only did we get a second car, we got a light in the dining area. After eight hours of work and the culminated efforts of three guys, this beauty is gracing the dining space.
We also picnicked on the canal walk today.
I love my three crazies.
