It's In The Details

Most of you know that we live on a dirt road...a long dirt road.  I have a husband who cleans the outside of my car on a somewhat regular basis and for that I am very grateful.   For some reason today I felt it was time to give my car a little extra TLC.   It had been a very long time...longer than I cared to remember...I only know that the stuff that had collected near the windshield wipers was fertile soil for a new forest.  I have known for a long time that my car has not looked very good.   Since the days when I lived in suburbia and all was pristine and spiffy looking, somehow moving to the island, things started to deteriorate.   I recall one visit from a daughter, when she got into my car and said, "MoTHER!!" and I realized I should have cleaned it before she came.   But, between the dust in the summer and the mud in the winter, it's just so... why bother.   So today was major cleaning day.   Vacuuming, scrubbing...well, it just looks so good.   I told BJ I was going to mark the date on the calendar so I will know when to clean it again...and he said..."you're going to write down the year?"   Oh, thank goodness for a sense of humor!
