Some Real Positive Today!

First of all it was warmer today - in the 40's but no wind!  Yesterday the dental office called and said they had 2 cancellations for today at 10:10 and did we want to come together to get our teeth cleaned????  That was got an opportunity!!!!  So we were at the dentist this morning and neither of us needed any work done - NO cavities or problems!  Wow!  That started the day on such a high.  

When we left there we headed to a Honda Dealership in Reading to check out their inventory of used CRV's.  They had 2 of interest to us, but when we got in the 1st one the cigarette smoke was overwhelming.  Didn't take us long to get out of that vehicle.  We then drove the 2014 CRV that was black, not exactly a color we would chose, but it would be a great match to our motor home.  It drove well and was certainly a strong consideration.

From there we went back to the Honda dealership in Lancaster to see the 2014 CRV that had been traded in on Tuesday evening.  It was actually owned by the parents of the service manager and had been extremely well maintained.  We took that for a drive and it was another strong possibility.  This one is kind of a taupe color, which we liked better than the black, but didn't think it was quite as good a match to Waldo as the black.  We left the dealership and stopped by Car Max to see if they had any CRV for us to look at.  They didn't have any on their lot, but could have one there in about a week.  Their pricing and warranties weren't as good as the dealerships, so buying there was not in our future!

We did some serious talking and went back to the Lancaster Honda and made a deal.  So on Monday we will be the proud new owner of a 2014 CRV.  How exciting.  In the meantime, we will schedule an appointment for a hitch to be put on for the new bike rack we need to purchase!  Did talk to Lazydays and it looks like they will be able to put on the towing package and braking system when we get there in 2 1/2 weeks.  Hallelujah!  Things are starting to fall into place!  

The color is really a dark taupe, not grey!  Not a perfect match
for Waldo, but very close.  Makes us happy!



Maybe tomorrow or the next day, or the next we will start to slow day.  So far it has been rather crazy since we got back home.  Somehow I doubt that that is going to change!
