What an end to the week!

We finally made the decision to buy a new car.  Why?  Well the same reason we bought a new truck two (?) years ago.  The other one was OLD.  My little Pontiac was/is 13 years old.  It should be in middle school now.

So we went to look at the web page for one of the big used car sellers.  We looked for a while.  We were looking for a mid-sized SUV.  There were some, but having waited for three weeks before we actually went to look - they were sold.

We had narrowed the search down to four makes, but we didn't want white or black.  The roads to the SSB would have them a dull red.  And we wanted an SUV rather than a car to traverse those roads sometimes.

When we finally made it to the lot, it seemed that all that was there were white and black ones.  At one of the other lots, however, there was a maroon one.  Oh great.  Our price range, year range, size range, and color.  So our salesman was going to have it transferred to our lot.  Someone had already put in a transfer request.

So back home leaving him instructions to look at what came up.  We did didn't really want to transfer from Austin or San Antonio.

Two days later, he called.  That afternoon, we drove it out.  In the time we were at the car lot, G's aunt called.  His cousin's wife had suddenly died from a massive heart attack.

G had always been close to this cousin.  They are about two months apart in age, and grew up in close proximity.  I told him it would be a great shake-down trip to really decide on the car.  So we were off to Rockport for the visitation and funeral.

Driving a brand new car on a road trip may not be the best idea.  Especially when it is an import, and we have never had an import before.  But we got there, and we fell even more in love with it!

Saturday was the funeral.  It was also a dear friend's wedding.  So as soon as the "message" was over at the funeral, we hit the road home.  That meant yesterday we began the day with a funeral and ended it with a wedding.

I was exhausted.  I slept well.  The wedding was beautiful.  Today was church, lunch, and family early Thanksgiving.  I just hope lunch digests better before we have to leave.  I am so stuffed from lunch.  Don't know why.

Hope your weekend is/was great!

Peace
