The new car

No, it's not mine. It's my mom's!! She decided last week that she wanted a new car. She asked me on Tuesday when she was here to look up the blue book value of her van. Well, by Wednesday afternoon, she was at Buckeye Ford looking at cars. Once she gets something in her head, well, that's it. A trait that has been inherited by her daughters, right Liz? She decided on a Ford Escape. The dealer had a white one but she wanted red. Whatever Rosemary wants, Rosemary gets so they called around and found her a red one. She is so excited by this car. At age 82, this is the very first brand new car she has bought on her own. She loves the satellite radio that she gets for free for 6 months. She's been listening to the 40s station. :-) I'm just so happy for her. Mike said he's not seen her so excited over something in a long time if ever. She deserves it and I can only hope I have her same spunk and spirit when I'm her age! I just love her so much and love everything about her. I learn more and more from her each year and can only hope I am as good a mom to Evan as she is to me.
