saying goodbye


 
Bertha Winifred
November 2003 - March 2012
2000 Ford Winstar Minivan
beloved transporter
holder of precious cargo
and a talented musical friend
you will be missed!

 

I apologize for all the times we rode you hard and put you away wet
I apologize for all the bad names I called you
I apologize for breaking your armrest and never replacing it
I apologize for for the puke and other 'mystery liquids' we left on your floor
I apologize for letting you get all rusty
And, I apologize for trading you in without proper warning
But . . . . we must day goodbye to make room for:


<< Name not yet determined >>
March 2012 - at least 10 years from now
2007 Toyota Sienna
our new 'swagger wagon' ride
Hello and welcome!

* I will be holding a contest later this week to give our new miniature van a name. A gift will be the prize, so you don't want to miss out on this fine opportunity!

A seat without an arm rest...how sad...that van probably couldn't wait to leave...

Love your new wheels!

Snazzy.

I am not looking forward to when I am told that we are replacing the Mazda. (Been mine for over 11 years) So I get your pain. Actually I think I did a funeral for my first car when it died.

SahWEET ride!!

It's hard letting go...I totally cried when we drove away from my totaled Passport. I'm OK with Abe, our Navigator...it's a Lincoln, get it...but honestly don't love it like my Passport. Which is kinda weird because I never named it....huh.
