Blue Sky Farm

My blogging posts and photos are part of me . I think of this as a scrapbook of my life. The names have not been changed.. they are real people who have crossed my path along my journey. Some I know intimately, my family and friends. If their names are mentioned it's a sure sign they are special to me and I love them dearly...come along see for yourself, perhaps you know some of them too..

She's a "Beauty"






Oh, yes!  She gets  plenty of Looks and Smiles...  I love my car.... She is a 2004 Chrysler Sebring Convertable...I had never made such a big purchase alone before & at the time, being divorced I was a bit nervous,  (Meaning there was no man to give me pointers or "Man car" suggestions. ) In 2005, I begged my sister to come look with me...So we drove  into Las Vegas Nevada... 90 miles from home at the time...  and after serious  price comparing in local lots in Arizona & on the internet... I really had a long time desire for a convertable and when I heard her calling my name I pushed all caution to the wind and traded in my 1998 Saturn ( I also Loved that car, she was paid for but she was falling apart...little things going wrong.. she was a tired girl with over 100,000 miles on her.) I drive with the top down on sunny warm days, letting the  wind blow through my hair.  She has had her share of minor expenses in maintenance, and I have driven a lot of miles ( now at 87,000) but who wouldn't like to drive her around in the sunshine? I just spent a couple hours giving her a fresh interior wash and she sure smells  nice of Sweet fresh vanilla beans..I  made myself a promise not to let her get so dirty again... My husband sometimes washes her exterior for me..(Secretly I  think he likes her too....) I hope it's going to be nice tomorrow  because I'd like to take a long drive maybe even with the top down...I can always turn on the heater..right?

Cheryl, I love your car! The one thing I've noticed about a convertible is the smells as you drive. The fresh mowed grass, sweet floral aroma. Of course, if your journey takes you by a dairy farm that aroma; enough said. I too have a little car, but I only take her out when the sun is shinning. Love, love to put the top down, just so fun!!! You go girl with a road trip tomorrow!
