The Tahoe is Gone - Long live the Tahoe!

We completed the transaction with CarMax for them to purchase the 2003 Tahoe from us. The "bank check" finally cleared and we received cash for the equity in the Tahoe. "Tess" was a great SUV but, we expect gas prices to escalate again and it was not really practical to try to keep her. When we go off the road, we will buy a more practical car then. Meanwhile, we will keep "Jasper" Jeep in good working condition.

Yesterday we drove down to Lake Lanier, Georgia to visit MA's cousin Janis and her husband, Charlie. They have a beautiful home right on the water. It was great to visit with them again.

Ashley got the flu shot Tuesday and promptly developed flu-like symptoms. So, MA and I are taking/picking up Camryn & Cecilia from Mother's Morning Out today. That way, I get to drive their very nice Volvo SUV!!!

This morning I wrote the first draft of the Christmas letter...this time from the perspective of Gypsy, our beagle. We expect to get the letter out before Thanksgiving so everyone will have our new address.
