Spring Sunshine

It's a perfect start to Spring, as there is not a cloud in the sky, all is blue, the sun beaming on the lake.  It's still chilly, 25º but will get up to 50º later in the day as Spring pushes Winter aside, for now.

Yesterday had to be the craziest day of the year for us. We woke wondering what to do with our day and all options seemed tired. Well, Evie has had a bug in her ear about looking for a new car, a hybrid.  I thought looking might satisfy her whim so that's what we did, leaving about 10:30. First, we looked at Toyota's Rav 4 Hybrid.  It was cool looking, black with a white top.  We drove it, liked the feel, but the inside seemed tight as if we were stuffed in there.  We never did get a price with a trade-in.  We then drove next door to the Honda dealer, owned by the same crew as Luv Toyota.  We drove the top-of-the-line Honda HRV Hybrid. and were not impressed.  It was a tich roomier than the Rav4 but still not as comfortable as we would have liked.  I think we need a Cadilac from the 1950s. We did get a price, predictably high even with a trade-in on our Outback.  We then had to make a decision, go home or stop at the Subaru dealer.  We decided to ruin our day and go to the Subaru dealer but first, we stopped at Burger King for a whopper, a big mistake as both had stomachaches as a result.  At the Subaru dealer, we sat in Foresters and drove a new Outback, which was the most comfortable of three cars we drove but it was not a Hybrid which we are leaning toward.  By the time we returned the car, Evie's itch for having a new car had waned and we left without a price which was fine.  We are most likely going to wait till next year.

Crows Prancing On Ice

Last Day Of Winter

We did not get home till 3:00 but exhausted from our day of car shopping.  I quickly fell asleep on the couch but woke in time to watch Ohio State fumble away a victory over ORU. They played poorly and deserved to lose. We were having Wienerschnitzel for dinner, so Evie sliced, pounded and breaded the pork tenderloin and let it sit until 6:30 when she started frying the cutlets. We had potatoes, salad, and applesauce along with the Wienerschnitzel, which more than made up for our bad day at car city.  We watched the usual, Colbert and Jeopardy, then watched anew series on Netflix which we are embarrassed to mention and will leave the reader guessing.  Think Money Heist or Thelma and Louise.
