So -- my parents now own a Buick. Having owned mostly Fords... this is a change. But, my mom has always joked about wanting a Buick luxury car.. and now she does.
We had it narrowed down yesterday to the Buick and the Honda CRV. The Honda was a close contender. Being a 4 wheel drive, it certainly had it's advantages.. but it was about $1000 more, and had over 100,000 miles on it.
The Buick has only 58,000 miles, and is very comfortable. It has dual climate control, a cd player, and was very clean. The main disadvantage, was that it looks very much like the Taurus they traded in.. same color scheme and all.

We also managed to decide on a rough draft for their will.. which they will take to the lawyers this coming week or so. We decided on the funeral arrangements and service plans. We went thru their stuff and set aside things for certain people. It was great.

So -- what's left ? Fishing. And photo taking if the weather permits. Then I will be on the road coming on Monday after I pick up a charm I ordered at the local jewelry store.. which is awesome !
