New Ride

We bought a van on Tuesday to replace our poor squashed Taurus. I was happy to be able to replace the 5-seater with something nice we can all fit in. Our 'new' vehicle is a 2000 Dodge Caravan with 86,000 miles. We were able to bargain, saving $500 off the asking price. The cost was well within the amount we received for the totalled Taurus, leaving us with more than enough to pay the sales tax, license and registration fees, and title transfer.

These are the pix from Craigslist, which is where we found the van listed. I haven't taken any of my own photos yet, since when we brought it home it was dark and right now it's covered in several inches of snow. I will be going Thursday to get the license plate, now that it's insured.

I am most excited to have sliding doors on BOTH sides. This is the first van we've had with that. It's also really nice to have HEAT that works great, since our other van's heater struggles. And it's BLUE!!! YAY!

Dry clothes soon?

Bob and the boys went this afternoon and bought us a used dryer we found on craigslist.

I ADORE CRAIGSLIST!

The dryer is set up for propane so Bob needs to convert it back to natural gas. Then I'll have a working dryer again! Oh thank you, Lord!

We'll be able to dry clothes in an hour instead of hanging them all over the house for days. YAY!!! I'm so excited!

Camper Sold!

We sold our old popup camper! YAY! I listed it on craigslist last week and someone came last night and bought it!

We also bought our 'new' camper from a craigslist posting.

Have you tried Craigslist?
