What a day

[feliciakw]

Went shopping. Bought yarn, a crochet hook, a pattern book, crafting supplies, groceries, and a Dodge Neon.

Also got word that Uncle J (the widower of Aunt J2) has passed away. I'm not surprised (between the Parkinson's and losing Aunt J2), but man, my cousins have been through it recently.

So sorry for your loss.

Congrats on the new car!

Thank you. My upcoming week just had a severe schedule change. Will be driving either to Ohio or straight through to Michigan for the memorial on Friday.

What possessed you to buy the Neon?

[feliciakw.livejournal.com]

It's a replacement for Geo's 1996 Tracer. (The Dodge is a 2004, for under $9,000.) The Tracer is in need of $1000 (+) worth of repairs, and it's just not worth that much. It had over 235,000 miles on it, and the value was miniscule.

He found the Neon on Carmax.com, wanted to take a look at it, test drove it, and bought it. We're fairly convinced it was divine providence, since it was the first and only car he looked at, and it was in our price range. :-)

It's cobalt blue, has a sunroof, is a stick shift (like Geo likes), and has nifty bells and whistles that the tracer didn't have.

The Tracer was a great little car. We were sad to part with it, but it needed to be done.

Oooh...I want a picture of the Neon!

It's a 2004, cobalt blue. I found a picture, but I don't know how to post pics in replies. Soo . . . I'll put it in a separate entry. :-)
