Just returned from a very memorable retreat! This was the best retreat...the fellowship was fabulous, loads of laughter, and so many fun projects were made!The first night of the retreat, a typical spring storm moved in, including thunder, lightening, rain, and straight-line winds. The winds moved in and out very quickly, but not before pushing a large maple tree onto my car! As demonstrated by the photo at left, the car was a total loss. I continually thank God that only the car was damaged and all human life was spared! Just 20 feet in another direction, and the tree could have fallen on the retreat center with all of us in it! My insurance company set me up with a rental car, and I was able to resume my time at retreat and them head home.
This is my new car! It's a PT Cruiser, and it is so much fun! (Yes, Jacob, it's an "old lady's car"!!! LOL!!) This baby will hold lots of quilting stuff for the next retreat! Ladies, I'm so ready...but I get the parking spot farthest away from the trees!!

Yayyyy Conni! I'm so happy that the car-shopping was not too terrible for you! I remember you mentioning to me how you dreaded it! LOL But it all came out great in the end ;)
YAY for a new Connimobile....sure wish I could see you behind the wheel!!!

It's so cute! I think it's a great replacement and for going to retreats it's got lots of cargo space.
I think it needs some racing stripes...lol
