End of an Era

It's the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. Last week, Randy and I traded in my Volvo for a Toyota. I sure am going to miss zooming around town in my little Volvo, warming up to heated seats, and other little luxuries of a German car. I will not miss the worries of not knowing how much longer the transmission will last. It was starting to act funny on us, and rather than be stuck with putting in more money to fix it, we went ahead and got a newer, bigger (and easier to maintain) car thinking about the future. So here is the newest Hartman addition....and yes, it's blue. Blue house, blue car, blue walls, blue collar on the dog, you get the picture...I like blue!

We got a 2006 Toyota Highlander. It will be great for Henry in the very back and hopefully a kiddo or two in the future! One of my favorite parts is that it has LIGHT leather seats...which hopefully means for more bearable summers in Memphis.

Funny story...our third day of driving it as "owners", the battery went dead! Bad luck or bad omen of things to come? Hopefully just a result of it being on the lot for a while without being driven. The dealership is reimbursing us, but let's hope that that will be the last of car problems for a while!
