Salsa

“It’s so dumb, it’s funny,”one teacher remarked as we posed with our named vehicles in the school parking lot.

With the school year behind us and sweet summer ahead, a group of teachers and staff gathered in the school parking lot to capture the moment. A “teacher kid” took the photo, we laughed hysterically at the sight, and we agreed to share the photos in some manner.

We recently purchased “Salsa” after the “Bluemobile” entered its final resting spot- the salvage yard. I feel a certain bonding with this 2010 mini-van my teenagers cannot fathom. “Why did you get another van, Mom?” “Makes no sense”.

However, it makes perfect sense when I am transporting my father with his blue walker. I love how the van seats easily fold down, I can park it in most spots, and it transports an entire family if needed.

I depend upon Salsa to drive us safely from 1891 to Royal Park and then on to Freedom Village, where my mother is living. I am thankful and grateful to be able to use a dependable vehicle in midst of this journey.
