when I got up this morning I decided to take a few photos of the car before leaving… took one in the garage, the driveway and part way down the street… there were a few tears in my eyes as I drove to work for the last time in the car that George and I had chosen together, and which was also the last place where he was alive…

last time in the driveway…

Crystal and Kyler met me at the office after work and we headed to Woodhaven to get my new car…

the process always takes a long time… we met with Courtney, who went through the reams of paperwork… m fingers were cramping by the time I wrote the last signature… then we walked over to Ranger Insurance to get the new registration and fill out more paperwork… did get to keep the old plates so still have a remembrance of George on the car…

back to Woodhaven where we waited a while for Courtney, and then Nelson came along and we went through the tips and tricks of the new car…

unfortunately, they had put on the winter tires, which I had decided not to do for another month or so, and they didn’t have anyone there who could change them back to the pretty all purpose ones… made me rather sad as they are a big feature of the sporty look…

new car with my plates on it…

drove home again with a few tears welling up, picked up Chinese food for supper and met up with Jeff, the little boys and our friend Jackie… had a nice celebratory dinner and Crystal is sleeping over so she can take me to work and take the car in to have the tires changed first thing in the morning…

I feel exhausted… been a long, and stress-filled day…
