In reply to Jill W. They do run forever...perhaps they're the original Energizer bunnies! HA! Thanks for stopping by, Jill. Enjoy your MemWeekend.

This is great, Laura! I’ve owned many Toyotas, they run forever. I love the pictures! Have a great weekend.

In reply to L. Marie. Our Writer's Group has bandied about the issue of using pen names...does it work well for you?

In reply to laura bruno lilly. I might at some point. I've avoided photos since I'm using a pen name. But I might break down and use one or two.

I always struggle with the photo-thing…try not to get too personal, but every once in awhile it comes together nicely. Thanks for the “L.Marie mark of approval.” How’s about a few with you, too, in a future article???? Tho I do love ‘kitty’! 😉

Anna:
I know your fondness for the UK, but you are also one of us…”Westerners” for whom driving is salve to the soul in addition to being a lifeline in the great open spaces…
And yes, the underlying message of this account is clearly encapsulated in your waiting-for-baby analogy! 😀

That’s so awesome! What a car! I’m so glad you have a good one. And how nice to see your photos.
My Accord died before it reached that mark. I miss it a lot. And it doesn’t look like my Civic will last too much longer either. I’m not even at 200,000 miles.

One of the reasons I love this post is that I’m a driver, and while we had several cars in the UK, I’ve been tooling around in the same vehicle since our return. I’m looking forward to hitting 200K, but 300,000 miles is tremendous!
The other reason for my fondness is how anticipatory was this journey, lol, and yet it seemed to take longer than expected, which of course is at times how these things go. Then, when it is suddenly near, a shock emerges, oh my goodness, here we go! I’m reminded of this in part that my eldest is due today, hee hee, but other issues occur in a similar vein. Great photos throughout this entry too. 😉

When ya’ll get that victory lap done send us up a flare so we’ll know back here then head on back. We need you here amongst us. The return trip should go way shorter, down hill and all.
The old F-150, he goes by Mule, has been a good’ n. He needs to get back off road though, he misses it.
