Diana, I love the new Explorer!! I have never owned a new vehicle either, other than my motocrycle, which was brand new but the previous year's model and priced to sell
Scott bought his Camry new in 2008 and said he wouldn't buy new again. He got everything he wanted, but he said the depreciation as soon as you drive off the lot and it is now a "used" car is just not worth the price in the beginning! So we bought our SUV used too.
There are some end of summer garage sales around here now, but most happen in early spring. Most years, snow is flying by October so they can't go too late
Good luck with the party Betsi!
I am heading to my parents' house for the long weekend! One of my closest friends is getting married on Saturday, and the weather might be iffy! There is a 40% chance of showers on Saturday and they are planning to get married outside in the park. If it does rain, they will move it inside the rink.
I am excited to see lots of people I haven't seen in ages! This friend lived two doors down from me and I was basically a part of her family growing up. I even went on family vacations with them! When I was 14, we went on a camping trip with her cousin's family. Her cousin also brought a friend, and it turned out they both had a crush on me lol. I had to choose between the two of them, and I chose his friend. He was 16 and he could drive
but he ultimately broke my heart lol. I saw her cousin a lot of times back in those days but haven't seen him now in years! He is now married with children so it will be great to be able to catch up!
The rest of the weekend will probably be spent at the lake. Hopefully we can get some fishing in!
