New Wheels

I did it.  I looked at a number of different cars but I wanted the Ford C-Max Energi.

I ended up getting a 2017 "used" one.  It was the dealer courtesy vehicle with 2000 miles on it.  Dealers were really pushing leasing and that is what I ended up doing.  There was a nearly $8000 rebate, plus more for the used status.  And the car is loaded -- all the bells and whistles.


I gave my Toyota Prius (2010 with 112,900 miles, but still runs really well) to my daughter.
So we're both happy.

Little road trip coming up.

    Interesting choice — good lokin’ car — sounds like you got a good price so make sure you don’t lose money on the back end as I hear people sometimes do if they don’t take care when they turn car in.

    Didn't know you could still buy the Demo cars. Smart. I've never leased and will be interested how that works out.
    New car always calls for a road trip.

    Good for you! Our old Toyota was a dealer run about car, and we got a very good deal on it. It was still running well 15 years later when we traded it in last spring.

    That is what I will get next time. For now I still need a truck. Not much of a gas guzzler though. I get 23 mpg.

Updates

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
