The Chariot awaits

Sparky here - we are grooming the car getting it ready for the trip. No detail must be overlooked. Oil, tuned, tires and all the works. How we came to the car is another tale.

One of our children came upon an opportunity to acquire a '98 convertible mustang. Once my lovely contralto felt the breeze on her face my goal was set. My precious must have a convertible of her own to travel the roads and enjoy the sites and sounds of our wonderful country.

We looked far and wide in our home city with no avail. The perfect chariot evaded our very grasp. Upon one session of Internet surfing, my surfer babe came upon an entry on Craig's List. We made a day trip of it to look over the prospect. She was a beauty, well kept and smooth running. With some negotiations, the perfect chariot was acquired, a 1997 Mustang GT convertible. It purrs like a kitten and passes most everything but a gas station. All we have to do now is wait for the appointed time of departure. Her chariot awaits!
