Long story short, we had a Dodge Caravan, traded it in for a Dodge Charger. Love the car.
Now we have a Tent trailer, which we adore. So the discussion has been had about upgrading to a hibrid in a couple of years, which means we'd need to upgrade our vehicle.
We've looked at many different vehicles, within the Dodge family (of course!). The Journey is their cross over. SUV seating 7. Nice, but I can see the kids sitting in the seat constantly arguing(Smaller back seat than the Charger..granted you do get 2 of them with a smaller trunk capacity than the Charger as well). And still, not a lot of room. We have TONS of room in the Charger. Seems like we will be getting a newer Minivan. SIGH. Not this year, probably in a year and a half.
At least they have changed their looks in the last couple years.
So I ask Brayden, my son who is 5, what he thought about a minivan vs a Dodge Ram 4 dr truck (which is what I'd love, just not at all realistic). He thinks it over, with his thinking face. And says... "Well, I think the minivan is cheaper and more spacious, I like the truck, but the minivan is better".
I swear they must hear WAY more than they let on. Assuming he isn't a completely over intelligent 5 year old, he obviously picked those thoughts from mine and hubby's conversations. lol
Ahhhh too cute. :)

Here I am again. This summer has flown right by me without a slight breeze. I have no idea where it went, but there is officially one week left for summer fun. Then my son goes in grade 1. YIKES.
My writing has been slow. To say the least. Summer fun has taken over my writing time. That, and being a full time Mom, wife, cleaning lady, and cook. But, I've managed 5 chapters.
It's funny, because with a lot of things in my life I feel pretty sure with my feelings. What I've written, I feel blind. It is SO very different being the writer vs being the reader. I didn't think it would be THIS different.
I can't go back and re read the story to see if it makes sense and hat there is flow. I already know what's going to happen. I know what is going to happen after that. So fresh eyes do help. I hope that I can add that feeling when you read a book and you can't put it down because you want to know what happens next. A boring book is good to start a fire, that's about it.
Well, that's it, dropping in for a post. Hoping to be able to find time to do this more often, but no promises.
