New Car

Hard to believe that my little girl is turning 16. Where has the time gone?  We have had quite the fun adventure up to this point. Whether it was researching cars, test driving, and shopping, it has been a fun journey. I will be sad (and relieved) for it to be coming to an end. Madison got her dream car. It's the nicest car in the family. I hope I did a good thing. She is my burnt toast.

That's the sound of $500 sinking to the bottom of Lake Mead. We had our Go Pro camera attached to an extender pole. It could float as long as the pole was extended but would sink otherwise. I thought Madison knew that but she didn't. She threw my way asking me to photograph them jumping off some cliffs. Before I could get there, it started to sink. I dove for it, but couldn't find it. What a helpless feeling. Ah well. It's replaceable. Frustrating, but replaceable. Like the Calvin and Hobbs comic, after Calvin had broke something and was so distraught, his Dad says something to the effect of putting it in perspective of him expecting a wrecked car when Calvin grows up. Shouldn't even joke about that, especially since Madison is so close to getting her license.
