Last week brought a sad day at our house. The old Dart departed for Japan. Aaron sold it on ebay a few weeks ago and this week, at 10 o'clock at night, a young man arrived to load it on to a car carrier to drive it down to California where it will be loaded on a ship and floated to Japan. It was fascinating to watch him load her up and we were all sad to see the ol' Rosiemobile leave. Lots of memories in one car. This photo is poor but it was 10 at night and I wanted to have a snapshort of the event.
We moved some of Rosana's old furniture into the house this week and even drove by her old house today, so I am reminded of her in many ways. It has been almost two years since she died and I still think of her almost every day. What an amazing lady she was!
In other car news from Dallas, the van was on it's last legs, so we traded it in for a 2000 Ford Ranger that Nate has happily driven out to Black Rock several times already. We were probably the least sentimental about that van than any other car we've had. Our acquaintance was short and we were glad to see it go. We still remember how Aaron cried and cried when we traded in the Escort station wagon about 20 years ago. Good thing he wasn't here to bid the Dart goodbye!
