We traded our ten year-old white minivan a couple of months back for another used minivan, only to get it back after we discovered there was a seal issue with the windshield of the one we traded for. After saying goodbye, we were happy to say hello to it and get reacquainted. ;) God has graciously seen fit that it has kept working even though we felt it was on its last leg. I pray the gray one, despite the color, will indeed be a blessing to you.

When I think about the first car that we owned together or the first one that Terry had when we dated I feel happy.

I can't say I've ever been very attached to a vehicle, but when my trusty Nikon camera was deemed unrepairable due to water damage on the boat, I teared up at the camera shop. I'm sure the technician thought I was nuts because I patted the camera and said goodbye when I left. We are odd creatures, are we not?<br />Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-21520095522043169492016-12-01T08:26:08.504-05:002016-12-01T08:26:08.504-05:00So great that your Dad gifted that car to you - wh...So great that your Dad gifted that car to you - what a blessing! We always buy used vehicles and then keep them forever - thus get quite attached to them as well. I totally understand the feelings about your good old car! I am thankful that the farmer takes care of all the car/truck details as I would not be good at that either.

I call it hers because she always was the driver--they got it after my dad had given up his license.
