Sampler Savvy–Class Four

Here is the homework from last week.

We worked on a couple more blocks this week.  After class, I took my car to the car wash for the first time.  Here is a photo of it getting it’s  first bath.

New Car

I finally got a new car – a Kia Soul.

Here it is in the driveway.  A fun little car and a fun color.  Hopefully I will have this one for a long, long time.

RIP–PT Cruiser

 

Bill took my car to Missouri to visit his family and came home in a rental car.  He had an accident on 70, just West of St. Louis.  Fortunately he was unhurt, but the car was declared dead by Geico.  Now I have to get a new car and I am not looking forward to it.  For right now, I am driving a VW from Enterprise while I collect $$ to pay for a new car.

There is still a lot to be thankful for – Bill is fine, we have insurance, I have some investments I can cash in on to pay for a new car, he made it home safely in the VW.

Exciting Time at Jo-Anns

I stopped at Joanns yesterday after work to use a few coupons and buy some more Denyse Schmidt yardage.  I used my four coupons and went out to the car – this is what I saw.

In case you can’t tell, that is a very flat tire.  First I tried to find the jack and spare tire – that wasn’t much fun.  I finally got the book out and figured out where the spare was but couldn’t figure out how to get it loose.

In the meantime, I had called Bill and he was on his way to rescue me.  I gave up and waited for him.  He managed to change the tire with the funny looking spare tire.

Of course with the Easter holiday, there isn’t anyplace to buy a new tire until Monday but I don’t really have any place to go anyway.  At least I was able to use my coupons and brought more fabric – just what I needed. Happy Easter to all of you!
