I haven’t driven a new vehicle in over 20 years. So why’s
this a big deal? My youngest son has left for college, making it three kids out
of the nest. I’m down to the caboose child. She’s in 7th grade, so
thankfully the nest is not completely empty.
Call it coincidence, what led us down the car
path was my Tahoe breaking down. We limped it to the repair shop and learned it
needed a new transmission. It was old and not worth fixing, so began my transition
or transformation. Not sure which word
works best here? 
Not going to lie, seeing moms buzzing around town in their suvs
full of kids and backpacks makes me a bit nostalgic. But until I have
grandchildren, I’ll embrace the car life. Not sure what’s next, as things are
changing faster than I like? But for today, I’ll pick up my daughter with the
sunroof open blaring a rendition of Gun’s N’ Roses. She's gonna love the new shades. ;-) Yes, I just discovered Sirus
radio and what fun this is.
