100,000


Ok, so this was back on April 21st, but I wanted to share that my "baby" has turned 100,000 miles! Poor thing! I bought my car on February 13th, 2003, with a mere 102 miles on it. It had to be brought up from Austin to Dallas, Texas. That weekend, I promptly drove it from Plano, Texas (just north of Dallas) to Los Angeles, California. Then a mere 3 months later, I drove it from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The long way! I stopped in Houston, Dallas, and drove through the southern states, then up the coast. Poor car! I put a few thousand on it in record time. Anyhow, just thought I would share!

Another before and after

Before: (Don't mind the mess on the floor!) Rather dull shelving, quite not pretty.
And after! I painted the shelves an intriguing "Lyndhurst Mahogany" and added brackets to support all those way too heavy nursing books!
All put back together, add a nicer chair, and presto-chango! I am just so tickled "Tangerine Dream" over the end product!
More as they come, but first, I'm off to go surfing!!! It's good to be me!
