New car

Time sure does fly. It seems that I just updated this thing and it has already been a week! It has been a busy week. We went to Panaca Friday. Saturday we took Mike's mom to St. George car shopping. Don't we all love that! We were able to find what we (she) wanted at our first stop. We drove an 08 Malibu. It was pretty nice but had a rattle and some other little damages inside so decided to stay away from it. Then we drove an 05 Toyota Camry. It had just over 30,000 miles. It was love at first sight for Jessie. So do you want to guess what is sitting in her drive way?

I have to tell you about the test drive. Jessie doesn't like to drive and REALLY doesn't like to drive in the city. Mike appointed me the official test driver, he was practicing his back seat driver skills. The salesmans tells me to go where ever I want. I let him know that I don't know St Geo at all and he'd better give me some hints. We went down the freeway and found a quiet, "old people" housing area. I pulled over and made Jessie drive. (I want you to know that nobody's grandparents were hurt on our test drives). It was interesting. I don't think that we passed any other cars on the road, but we did pass several golf carts. (It was a beautiful day).
So Jessie signed all kinds of papers and said no thanks to an extended warranty offer that the girl was so sure that Jessie needed and wanted to have. By the time we got done with the gabby car salesman and the money lady blabbing, my ears were tired. I wanted to just tell them both to stop talking. They were telling me things that I didn't need to know and I just wanted to get done and leave. We all agreed with that.

The reward for the whole thing was a nice dinner at Ruby River and then I got to drive the new car to Panaca, under Jessie's ever watchful eye.

I meant to take a picture to post, but I forgot. Sorry. It is gold champagne.

Mike and I got home Monday night. And we are back to life as normal at the Simmons home.
