Hello,
Even though Leroy retired, from one
job, almost a month ago it has not seemed like retirement because we had many
things filling in the days. Sarah and her girls came and spent more than a week
of that time, plus Leroy is still working at the museum and put in some extra
time so he could be home with Sarah.
Yesterday he had the day off. I found
some usual activities to fill in the morning such as laundry and shopping. In the
afternoon we went to a local attraction, Usher’s Ferry. In spite of the heat we
found this historical village quite interesting. We could walk around on a self
guided tour which means we could set the pace. When leaving the park Leroy spotted
a wild turkey quite close to the road. I stopped and got a good look at it as
well. I have seen wild turkeys before, but never so close to see the bends in
the waddle.
A family in the congregation told us
they were selling their car and would we like to see it with the possibility of
buying it. They knew we were looking for a car and had been for a long time.
Last night we stepped in the fast lane
of car buying. We took it for a test run, stopping at home to put it in the
garage. It fit! We bought it, but have not yet taken possession. It just seemed
to feel right. Both of us were in the yes column. Leroy, on the way to their
house, talked about how he did not know, but what we should be looking more
seriously at an electric car. I was astonished when we were testing it he said,
“I think this is good and we should get it.”
So this 2016 Subaru Crosstrack will be
will be ours. Even though Leroy will not drive so much, as he will mostly use
his bike, it will be his car until it snows and I have to drive 12 miles to
work. Then I will borrow it.
