Sold!

Perhaps it is a sad day for some of my Darrington relatives, but as of today, the 1990 Gray Dodge Grand Caravan is now officially no longer part of the family.

It came into our branch of the family not so very long ago and was a great help to us. For the past few months, Jeremy took it to and from work with no problems at all. And, it even had something our beloved red Civic doesn't have--a volume control on its stereo that actually allows you to control the volume.

But alas, it was time to say goodbye to the old van (aka Bradley to some branches of the family). We knew there was now someone out there who needed it more than we did. So we turned to a trusted friend--Craig--to get the word out. He was kind enough to put a little bit of info about the van on his internet list, and a guy named Randy saw the list.

We felt Randy was the destined new caretaker for this vehicle. After all, Randy lives on the very street we lived on when the van--new to its Boise home, just as we were--first brought a certain young married couple to visit us in our Boise apartment. That fact, and the fact that Randy handed us an envelope containing many twenty-dollar bills, convinced us that this man could be trusted with a vehicle that has served the Darrington family well over these past several years.

I wish that dear vehicle a continued long and healthy life, but I don't particularly mind that it won't be spending any more of its life parked in front of our home or inside our garage. Thank you all and Goodbye!
