When my son turned junior in college, it was COVID.  We really did not like the idea of public transportation and its contamination and I wasn’t leaving the house very much anyway.  So, off to college he went that year with our old but reliable and easy to drive Honda.

For the next three years, for the most part I drove a 22 year old minivan (with only sporadic air conditioning).  Towards the end, even the felt ceiling had started coming down.  Truth be told, until recently there wasn’t all that much occasion for us to need two cars so that minivan did what it needed to when I needed it to.

Yet, last month, my son bought himself an expensive gift – a new car.  Frankly, he liked the old one so much that he upgraded to the new hybrid version of the same car.  He is thrilled.  That car is like his baby. 

As a result of his upgrade, our old car returned home.   Now I remember how much I missed that car. 

Welcome home.  It’s an oldie but a goodie.
