Shopping for a Car

Daughter Lise has been talking about the age of my car, and we agreed it was time to look for another one. I have no desire to pay for a brand new car, so today we went to CarMax in Asheville to try some on. Even though it was the hottest day of the year so far, we had a wonderful time. She knew it would be good to have a car higher off the ground than Snot, my current car. She says I got in and out of 20 cars, although it didn’t feel like that many to me. The lot was well organized, so we didn’t have to walk far to all that we wanted to see. She brought home photos of eight that I liked and will analyze their features. She really is making this very easy for me.

We rewarded ourselves for that sweltering time by having hamburgers at Five Guys. It was wonderfully cool in the restaurant, and we spotted a soft-serve ice cream shop two doors down. Then, on the way home, we stopped at Aldi’s, a grocery that I used to go to once a week. We sipped huge glasses of ice water at home to rehydrate. All in all, it was a very rewarding day, thanks to Lise.
