Seeing Green...

Thursday, February 16th, Claude had an appointment at Frank Shoop to have the oil changed in the yellow Jeep. He wanted to be sure it was at its best when we take it to Michigan. He invited me to go to Georgetown and have breakfast with him while he waited for the Jeep. Well, gee whiz, I am sure I can do that!! I drove my car because I would head off to do other things while Claude headed in other directions after the oil change. When I pulled in to Frank Shoop's parking lot, this is what I saw and parked beside!!

That's right. The new Ultra Green Jeep was in the lot. It would have to be cleaned and running boards added before Claude took possession. We would come back on Friday afternoon to pick it up. How cool is that. Sent this picture to our family. Katelyn said it reminded her of a certain dinosaur in those colors that shall remain nameless. Barney was Katelyn's favorite as a tiny little girl. She had the stuffed animal and loved it to pieces. Katelyn couldn't say Barney so she called him NeeNah. Andie did not like Barney at all and would not let her children watch or have Barney in their home. Hence, Katelyn's vagueness about the dinosaur.

Friday afternoon we drove to Frank Shoop's in my car and Claude took possession of his Jeep. He was one happy camper. It really looks yellow in this picture but it is truly Ultra Green. When Claude was having the yellow Jeep serviced for the last time, he told Kim in the Service Department that she would not see that Jeep again. He explained he just purchased the green Jeep. Kim, whom we love, said, "Oh, you mean the booger green Jeep!" Claude told Bailey this story and Bailey now says it is the color of snot. On My!! Ultra Green every one, Ultra Green!!

If felt a little sad leaving the yellow one in the driveway so the green one could not have the garage space.

Monday, we drove to LaGrange, Kentucky in the afternoon to introduce the Mini's to the new Jeep and take them to dinner. They pronounced it GREAT!

It is nice to each have a new car to enjoy. It is also nice that our former cars are both going to family members who will loving care for them.
