After some amazing adventures, we said good-bye to our beloved (well not so loved) 1999 Mercury Sable. For those of you who don't recall this car, this was my college partner in crime, since my senior year, when my Altima croaked. My Mom and Dad were very generous to gift me the Sable to get me through, and boy did it. The Sable was 13 years old and had seen a few scratches, dings, you know the drill. The occassional, windshield wipers going off without any cause, wheel bearings noise, just all the fun you could imagine. However, with Baby P on the way, this pregnant Mama-To-Be said, we need a new car. Fortunately, the sable went to my cousin Liz. She will get such great use out of the car and was willing to do a little work to get it into order.
So, now the Penningtons have officially gone hybrid, and we LOVE IT!. We bought a 2012 Hybrid Camry XLE. We love getting over 40 miles per gallon. The car is so quiet and my number crunching husband loves that he is saving, saving, saving. Next time you pass by the Pennington house in Prairie Village, you will see the Pilot has made its way to the driveway, and the Camry has taken over the garage. We have officially grown up and now no longer have our high school and college cars. Gosh, its amazing what 30 years has to offer. We are so blessed.
