it's Wednesday. We've been waiting. Waiting for Sunday. That is the day we'll leave for a quick visit to family in California. We are SO-O excited! We already have snacks for the drive that's just how excited we are.
Since we chose to purchase an older vehicle I've been taking the kids with Penny and I to all her appointments. We had her oil and rear differential fluids changed Monday. On Tuesday we had her transmission serviced and today we were quoted on the repair of her A.C. *choke-sputter-cough* The quote was over 2k. Ugggg. I had the distinct feeling that the mechanics saw me as another dumb girl and wanted to jerk with me. Have I mentioned that I'm not one to be jerked with? Thought so. We paid our service charge (yes, they charge just to find the problem....no fixing involved) got in Penny and said "Bye-bye" without waiving. See ya. Going someplace else. =) I can smile now but I was upset at the time. Nice, but upset.
On the way home I told Ben that since I LOVE to be warm I don't mind a whit going without A.C. indefinitely. I just hate spending $$$ on such an old thing. Sorry Penny! It's true though; you are an old Lady.
I will post pictures when we get back (we're going to Tahoe, which is very close to Reno, one of the days and I hope to cross the border to Nevada so I can say I've been =).
Have I mentioned that I.LOVE.Summer? Yeah, thought so.

I'm with ya on the hating to spend $$$ on old cars! We found a good mechanic, though, who is very honest and has reasonable prices (in case you're interested)...
