Brooke, one of my most precious granddaughters, a 17 year old High School senior is feeling what they call the middle child syndrome.
You know the how come they got cars their junior year and I don't have one yet? Now, she is a wonderfully patient child, I mean young women, and I understand her frustration. Of course I did not get my first car until I was married..... That is a whole other story and we won't go there.
After several weeks of looking on line...Autotrader.com, Craigslist.com and looking at dealerships we were getting to the point of frustration. No cars in our price range. Apparently there was this little thing called "Cash for Clunkers" you know to help boost the economy.
This last cold and wet Friday we went looking for cars. We were going to buy a car if it was the last thing we did. Fortified with a Latte and hot chocolate we looked and looked and looked, you guessed it, looked some more.
Nope none of these were good enough for our Brooke.....
Finally we found the right one. One that would get her to school, work and any errands that her Mom would ask of her.
We are all happy.
