We really had to. We would have had to pay for storage monthly with a credit card, and that’s just silly. She was an impulse buy, and became a family project. We learned a lot about working together, and being together without the distractions of telephones, tv and computers. We had some adventures and some fun. We ended up having to spend too much money because she kept breaking, however, so realized we really couldn’t afford to keep her just now. Especially since storage would have been $110. per month. Just too much for us right now. But it was a good experience. A really good one. No regrets. We will get another someday when we can afford to better. But not now.
The guy who bought her lives in Ely, Nevada. He drives a 1958 ford something or other truck daily for work, so isn’t afraid of a little mechanical work. He paid cash, more than I expected, but way less than what we bought her for eight weeks back. That’s ok. On to the next thing now.
I am going to be teaching Kindergarten at a Montessori school starting next week. Talk about art! Lots to learn and do before then. But at least we have stopped the bleeding, money-wise that is. And that feels good.

Just wanted to say HI. I found your blog a few days ago on Technorati and have been reading it over the past few days.
