What a day !

Since I have an appointment with the bank at eight thirty this morning, I can't go back to bed . Because of this , my lucky readers, I have decided to tell you about my day yesterday. Actually I will start with Tuesday night . Before karate Mike and I went to look at the car that Cindy found the night before. Mike and I took it for a test drive and though it needed a CV joint replaced, new brakes and tires, and a few other minor problems, we decided that Mike was quite capable to fix it up for her and since the price was right and it had low miles we agreed to buy it . I went to the bank before Mike got home and was ready to go when he got here. We did not tell Cindy that we were purchasing it so it would be a surprise. All went well, the papers were signed and we were on our way. We drove the car to My parents when Mike noticed a few problems that he didn't before. One being that the odometer didn't work. I guess that explained why the mileage was low. Mike called the salesman and explained the problem but was told that he would have to await a call in the morning. We decided that the car was going back. Luckily the guy's shop is next to his home so we were able to talk with him. After a few moments of Mike and him discussing the problems and how it"could" be fixed, I asked for a refund. The man agreed but had night dropped our cash and had to issue a company check. (Which is why I have a date with the bank this morning) We accepted the check and pray that it cashes and that this is the end of this adventure. Now though I am nervous about car shopping . Just wonderful since Cindy also finally got her permit yesterday and desperately wants a car now. We thought that we were off the hook when My dad gave her a car a couple years ago but after setting for a couple years without being driven it needs more work now than Mike is wanting to do . I am sure that it will all work out in the end and maybe twenty years from now I will tell my grand kids the story of their Mom's almost first car.
