Mission Accomplished Two!

Today was part two of our decision to give things away.

So The Animal Welfare League received some Skipper kibble food, treats, pill pockets, medicinal canned food and a couple of bottles of dog medication as well as pill syringes.

We did go inside and met some of their temporary charges, and I instantly fell in love with a five year old male neutered Yorkie and later on with a male domestic long haired black cat of only eight months old… but contained myself temporarily. Hubby also found himself smitten with a little female black puppy of a Lab mix, and again we both realized it was too soon… and left empty handed…

But for any of you who have that urge to parent a cutie they do have more than they should, many good four legged babies do need homes…contact your local shelters they are too many that could be yours for a song and a dance and small fee.

After that we went over to our bargain lunch out at Subway for $12 bucks for the two of us! I had my fav of a salad with everything topped with seafood salad and some oil and vinegar with a sprinkle of pepper. Hubby went the other route and tried their six inch pastrami sub; we both had ice water…good and cheap.

From there we decided to take the plunge and go down to Punta Gorda to automobile dealer’s mini city named by only one Palm, but they own several different brand dealerships from Mazda, Toyota, Chevy,  Hyundai Jeep/Chrysler, Lincoln, I think that was it, sorry if I missed any. They are all under the auspicious of Palm, where we did buy our car from way back when.

We got prices on a few that had the type we were looking for, and were able to meet one salesman who was helpful without being pushy.

And then we came home.

Yep, no sale today, our plan is still on track.

But it was helpful for Hubby mostly to check them all out, while I waited in the car. My fear was dinging them possibly with my walker so I waited inside with air running and music jamming. I know that many will feel that I wasting air and gas, but even though it was a mild day, I was warm and warm is not good for me, better waste a bit of gas than have me back on IV’s, ya know?

The type vehicle we are looking for is of course a new one and either the Town and Country Chrysler or the Dodge Caravan, both about ten thousand less than the Odyssey of Honda's that Hubby looked at the other day, and more within the realm of our ability financially. Believe it or not, not that much more than what we paid for our current vehicle; way back when.

They are mini vans and few make them anymore, but with all my gear, walker and scooter, and a boat to tow if we need to that is the reasoning why we need that type of vehicle. The outside thingy/lift that goes on the rear of the car allows the scooter to be exposed to the elements and Hubby nixed the concept when I said that then we could perhaps get a regular car. The one we have now is a SUV with a tow package on it as well as a roomy back inside area that can hold all my stuff when the one seat is down.

So that is what we determined that we needed for those reasons.

Evacuation is something that could be an issue being in a hurricane area and we are also living directly on waterfront property so that makes it more likely.

Any-who, we are just trying hard to figure it all out as we go along, just like the rest of you… and so on that note of you gotta do what you gotta do, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know who and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
