Tricks

One of my daughter's friends spends a lot of time at our house.  She's like part of the family.  One day as I was explaining to her that in order to get a picture on our TV, she would have to tape the cable on the back at a very specific angle.  I demonstrated and it worked perfectly... but her reply makes me laugh to this day:  "I love your house! Everything in it has a special trick to it!"

And indeed it's true.  My iPod works if you jiggle the earphone cord.  The window will stay open with a wooden dowel placed to hold it up.  Produce has to be kept in the outside fridge because it will freeze in the one in the house.  And this is just a tiny bit of the "tricks".  And if we're to call them "tricks" then our cars are amazing magicians!

We buy used cars.  My family has always bought used cars.  From Boulder used cars, to San Diego used cars, to Rhode Island used cars... it just doesn't make sense to buy something new that will depreciate in value over night.

You must carry water with you when you drive the van because you have to fill the radiator every 1/2 hour.  The blue car has to be entered from the passenger side only.  The window in the Jeep had to be taped in the up position.  The tiny red car will over heat if you don't leave the heater on ... all... the... time.  Even in the summer.

We live a magical life don't we?
