Well, I sold the Space Shuttle Sparrow. I named it that because it was about as big as a Space Shuttle, and with me driving, it reminded me of the phrase from a song, "His eye is on the Sparrow, so I know He watches me."
I owned the Shuttle for 11 years. It's maiden voyage was to Florida to see my sister and her family. It has been to Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Missouri, and who knows where else in the state of Texas! It's been to Sea World, Six Flags, camping trips, local excursions, and uncountable trips to church and church functions. It has shuttled friends, family, and even a few folks who were neutral, but rode with me anyway. :-) It has provided comfort to our family and friends and a graciousness of hospitality afforded by few vehicles. When we bought it, I was resistant to purchasing a huge van, but Daryl wisely said it was best for the family for a while. My hands had to be pried off the steering wheel to sell it, and if I had gone car hunting before I sold it, it would probably still be in the driveway! May it be wonderful for your family, Fidel and Debbie!

I'm going to miss the Space Shuttle Sparrow as well. We've made lots of fun trips in it, haven't we? I remember the first time I saw it was when you picked us up at the airport. Wow!
I'm glad you were able to use it for so long.
Love,
Mom
Mom wants to know what kind of car you got....you're keeping her in suspense..
Love you, Sis.
Hi! I got a Toyota Avalon. I'll try to blog a pic soon.
Love you back!
I loved that van! I really remember the trip to Heber Springs in it. Speaking of I was reading our local newspaper and noticed that the Nelson family bluegrass group was coming to Branson- I told Andrew we'd have to go see them for old times sake!
