Putting Our Choice into Action

In April, we sold our Airstream trailer.  We realized we no longer needed a heavy duty 3/4-ton truck.    This week we traded-in our truck--on the right--for the GMC Acadia Denali on the left.  

  This is a better view of the car.  It is much smaller, and lower, than the truck.   We no longer need an extra step on the side to get into it.

                                       

John has mixed emotions about trading in the truck for a car.  We have had a truck for almost 50 years.  We also had a car for much of that time, but the truck was his main vehicle.  You can see how he feels about this in the photo below.

We have been doing more than just spend money and make changes.  We have visited our son Eric and his wife at their nearby home in Littleton.

Our two Colorado grandchildren, John on the left and Kylie on the right, were there, as well.

New choices, change.  A new way of living.  We have made many of these choices and changes in our 57 + years of marriage.  Each choice, each change, has called for adjustments.  They are exciting, difficult, disorienting.  At this age--nearly 80--we are trying to make them thoughtfully, prayerfully, and most of all, because we want to, not because circumstances or events force them on us.
