The Buick is sold

We are trying to tie up loose ends here at Guadalupe RV as we come to our last month to work. We have thoroughly enjoyed the work even when it seems so busy, as the time just flies. Yesterday we cleaned out the Buick and gave her a bath and then took her down the road about a half mile and parked her with some For Sale signs, thinking that it would take some time to sell. Within an hour we had an interested buyer, Larry, who was not looking for himself but for a friend of his mom's, Ruth. Ruth came by later and bought the Buick. That was a fast sale. She did not even dicker on the price.

Ruth will come by today with a check, we will complete the paperwork, and our good old Buick will find a new home. We had put on new tires, new battery, and had the brakes redone, so the car is in good shape. We loved having it to travel in December to see our extended family. But it is difficult to take two cars when we return to our travels. The money from the sale will go toward getting new tires for the motor home, which are quite expensive. I plan to order them today after Ruth completes the Buick sale. Things are falling into place. Happy travels.
