Pat: Getting rid of...well everything

For the last month we have been getting rid of or storing everything we own. I had thought this would lead to a sense of liberation, but knew I was wrong when it was time to sell my car.

Yes, my Mini Cooper needed to be sold.

Now I have never really been a car person, but five years ago I saw an ad in a magazine for the new Mini and had to have one. After a 9 month wait, I owned the 16th car sold in the area. I added a hula dancer to the dash and it was more than 4 years of car bliss.

I don't know if we can plan on what "things" will be important to us. I know that family and friends are first, but I can now say that a car can be a close second.

So last week, with TIKI42 license plates in hand, I actually waved goodbye as she turned the corner. I guess I will need to start reading car magazines again.

D Day is getting closer and closer.

Enjoy.
