Changes ... Yay!

Since Harry became a judge people ask us over and over if we will buy a bigger, newer house?  Kind of boggles my mind because we purposely sold our bigger, newer house to downsize.  It was a conscious choice on our part to get rid of "stuff".  We love our tiny, old, inner city home.  Hey -- it's going to be 100 years old next year!  So, the answer is "No, we're not going to change the way we live."  Why should we?

We did, however make one (kinda big) change.  I have been driving a standard transmission car since 1986.  My current vehicle is a 2005 Mazda Tribute -- totally devoid of any conveniences and with the lightest engine possible in it.  It is a gutless plain Jane vehicle.  But it has it's purpose.  We tow it behind our motor home and because of it's small 4-cylinder engine and lack of luxury, it adds virtually no weight to pull.

For about a year I have been telling Harry I'm sick of driving a standard and would love even the simplest convenience of cruise control.  I've been looking at cars seriously for the last 4-5 months.  Well ... we finally found a vehicle that had everything I was looking for:  automatic, some bells and whistles, comfort, hauling capacity, yet not too big.  Last week I bought a Volvo XC70.  I hadn't been thinking about a European car, but Harry kept suggesting I look at a Volvo.  Last Saturday he took me to a Volvo dealer and ... well ... he was right.  They had the vehicle I was looking for.  I didn't buy new.  I bought a 2008 that looks brand new inside and out and has super low kilometers on it (sorry ... miles); totally tricked out with every bell and whistle possible; and only one owner who purchased it from the dealer then traded it back for a larger SUV.  It even still smells new!

I have never really liked to drive much.  That may change now!

Here's the challenge:  she/he needs a name.  I'm taking any and all suggestions!
