Such a beautiful read from one (like me) whose cars have meant everything including life and death and all moments in between.
I believe I knew Jenny fairly well. And I will never forget you teaching me how to properly use my a/c settings (unless I was smoking…cuz I did that then) to circle the cool air in my truck’s (Green Bean’s) cab.
God speed, Martha!!! May you go on to an owner just as loving as your first.
Ah, the Green Bean…who I hope has gone on to the big parking lot in the sky! A car is more than a way to get from here to there, it’s your mobile command center!
Uhm, I love so much about this!! I love reading and hearing your voice telling me these stories (I'm pretty sure it was George I got to ride around in, right?), thinking about the time we took my parents van with no AC to that concert in Ames, & remembering driving over 100mph for the first time in my dad's honda accord on my way to visit you at college! Sending huge hugs, peace on your journey, & gorgeous travel adventures, even without Martha.
You knew George - if memory serves you also covered him in soap! I remember those trips; so many memories associated with vehicles! The cats cost enough, I can’t imagine the baggage fees for Martha.
