Honoré here: Today, Norman and I took the Benz through DC inpsection - a dreaded task - long lines; fear the car won't pass; etc. - required every two years. Tho' an '89, the Benz only has 51,000 miles (apparently the previous owner only drove it back/forth to the grocery store (much like we do ;-)). Norman's had the car two years and this is it's second inspection. I captured this photo of us waiting for the car to come through the line...
...holding our breath for the results. Didn't pass the emission test! Bitter! So, in the next 20 days we'll have to to get the problem corrected and the car re-tested. Smile!
In today's mail was the sweetest thank-you card from my friend Kathy's 5 year old granddaughter. This bit of unexpected happy mail makes me smile, hey grin, from ear to ear. This morning's misadventure became totally irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. Smile! Indeed!
Thanks loads, Samantha for your colorful and sweet card. I love it!
Cheers~
