Change is good

Things are changing here. We sold our trailer that we use to transport the Crossfire car. We then traded in the Crossfire for an almost new 2009 Cheverolet Malibu. We did all of this because Foxy was not comfortable sitting in the Crossfire. The way the seat was tilted she could not get her back comfortable, and no combination of cushions worked. She really was quite patient about the whole thing. Secondly, we could not travel easily for any long distance since there was so little trunk room. We could either take Max or clothes on a trip, but not both. This is exactly why we bought a Buick last year and took it on our month long trip to New York, Michigan, and back. Thinking that we were to leave Kerrville in the spring, we sold the Buick. Finally, it was not easy to get the Crossfire up on the trailer and secured to be towed behind the motor home. With all of these considerations it became an easy decision to look for a car that could be flat or dingy towed without the trailer. Thus the purchase of the Malibu. This car, although not new, has excellent appointments and a passenger seat that can be adjusted for Foxy to ride comfortably.

Now we need to get the necessary attachments for the car to be hooked up behind the motor home. Once that is completed, we are ready to travel. We plan to leave here in early September and drive first to Albuquerque and there see family and friends, and then on to Colorado to see winter Texan friends. Once that visiting has occurred, we plan to then drive up to Washington State and visit Arthur on the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound. So we are back in the traveling mode of thinking and view this change as a good one for us. We will probably return to Kerrville late next spring or maybe travel elsewhere. Happy travels.
