Bye, Bye Ole Blue :-(

We finally let go of our trusty 2003 Honda Civic with 233,000 miles. It was sad to let "Ole Blue" go. Debbie thought of this as "her" car when she was in high school. The family decided that Dad could just keep on riding his bike to the university.  Kim got herself a matching car that passed on to her siblings when she left to teach in Australia. Ole Blue was Chrissy's loaner car when we were on our mission in Hungary. It had several trips across the USA to visit grandchildren and extended family.

We now have a brand new 2019 Honda CRV with all kinds of electronic gizmos that we're trying to learn how to use. We call it the "Silver Bullet," It will be our car for weekly trips to the Orlando Temple. With an expected 36 mpg, we should save lots of gas money by not driving our van. It will also be great for our cross country trips this coming year for high school graduations (3), grandchildren baptisms (4), and other family activities.

You can see how dusty it got just driving on our 1.5 mile stretch of dirt road just before our house. Luckily it comes with free car washes.
