I M Perfect lady

I had to say farewell to my little buddy today…I was surprised how sad this made me.  I have enjoyed my ride and view from this jeep.  It has brought me through muddy roads and stormy days.  It gave me great confidence to tackle all the roads on my route.

Due to the high miles (111,700), we decided it be best to sell it and find a newer replacement.  I have never gotten rid of a vehicle that I still loved.  Typically, our cars head to the junk yard when we are done, and by that time, we are so happy to see them go.  

I cleaned out my personal affects and just felt weepy…I can't believe that I will no longer drive it.  

I seen a few Jeeps on the way to town in my 'New' mail car and almost waved…and I remembered how surprised I had been when I first got the jeep and all other Jeep Wranglers waved to me.   No waves until the next Jeep finds its way to me.  And most likely I will wait till Fall to drive it.

For now, I will be delivering the mail in nondescript, Cutlass Sierra..Oldsmobile…1994 model, with just 78,000 miles.  It will take some getting used to once again.  Driving a Left hand drive vehicle from the right.

A little old lady owned it…

 I was not filled with eager anticipation as I cleaned and organized my mail stuff…Hard to say good-bye to a vehicle you still love.  It will be easier when it actually leaves the yard.  The woman I bought it from was sad too to see it go.  So, if you know of a mail person who would love a Mail Jeep, let me know!

Good-Bye Buddy!
