Ladies and Gentlemen Cecil has finally stepped out of this world and into the next. I always thought her passing would be different than it actually was (I'll explain in a moment), but nonetheless she passed. She served me through the ladder part of high school and I believe her best years were in college. So many people enjoyed her company and great gas milage to many concerts and beach trips. Kenah also had many long rides in the back seat to Columbia. You know, she never left me stranded and was always dependable. My dad has been driving her the last four years and I'm so impressed that she made it this far, but alas she is gone and she definitely went out with a bang (almost literally)
So the story goes that my dad go up last Wednesday morning and notice a smoke smell in the air. He goes outside to find one of the garages on fire and Cecil in flames! Apparently, lightening had struck the garage the day before during a storm and we didn't know it. Fire had gained momentum all during the night and by the morning it had consumed Cecil and the garage to the unsalvagable point. :( Anyway, I'm glad my dad is ok and the house wasn't caught in the fire as well. He did loose a lot of memories in the garage so that is very sad. Needless to say, Cecil is gone and I honestly didn't think this would be her demise, but it does make for a good story. My she RIP.

Oh, dear, dear Cecil. I will miss her faded hood and her Kenah-haired sheet in the backseat. She lived a good life, Olivia. Perhaps you would like me to get a red (faded) flowered plant to put in your yard to replace her, much like the Toby plant...? :)
this is a most excellent idea. I'll wait to see which flower plant you decide on when you guys come to visit in August. :)
I think that's about the smallest picture I've ever seen.
And by the way, I'll post something new soon. So far, I don't have anything fun to say.
I know it was the only one I could find.
I hardly call your car burning up a fun topic. ha ha
