Saying Good Bye

For 13 years (almost to the day) we drove the 1993 Chevy Astro, she had
over 223,000 miles.
Today we traded her in for a 2007 Chevy Uplander... I hope this one
lasts as long.Actually the Astro is a bit of a miracle...with every adoption my
husband would say "you know, we will probably need to replace the van soon."
He started saying that back in 2003 when we were bringing home Hope,
then in 2006 we said, "If God holds the van together until we get home..."THEN in 2010 we just prayed that God holds this van together and that
the house roof does not leak (it's 25 years old) and guess what? He
did! We don't have the tax refund yet, but I trust that one of these
days we will get it and we will pay it off.Now the house roof? Well...you can patch them if you need to....
