The Name
So we've decided on a name. It all depends on who you talk to. My mom says "Irma." Noodle says "Ruby." Mister and Lewlew just say "Grandma's car." Buddy has no opinion. I say "Howard." So there you have it. Not real exciting or uniform - but it's named.

Our Inheritance
Like a year ago, our truck died and I refuse to put more money in the piece. So then we got the scooter. Bret's drove the scooter to work all spring, summer and fall. Then one night when he was on his way to his mom's, he felt like something was wrong with it. It's been parked ever since. Since then Bret's been using his dad's truck. Well we couldn't keep it forever so we finally gave it back. (BTW - Thanks Eric for letting Bret use it for as long as he did!) So since Bret gave the truck back, we've just had the van. It's really inconvenient but doable. The worst is when I need the van, I have to take Bret to work and then remember to go pick him up - it's a lot of running around. So then about a month ago Grandma died and the family has been going through and divvying up hers and Grandpa's stuff. Well, we got their car. It's a 1991 Buick Le Sabre with 70,000 miles on it and completely immaculate. I don't think it was any cleaner back in 1991. Anyway.... So now I need help naming it. Any and all suggestions will be considered and there might even be a prize for the winner. Now back to the car. Several months ago, my cousin posted on her blog about the car she bought. Her and her hubby needed a new car and couldn't find one in their price range. Then her bro-in-law called her from out of town and told her he had a car for her. An older model Lincoln Town car. Of course she didn't want it - it's HUGE. But it was in their price range and they really needed another car. So they bought the car and now she loves it. Well that's kinda how I am feeling. I feel so dumb driving it, but I'm thankful for it. It's in better running condition than our van and more reliable - which is a relief. But it's totally an elderly person car and I can't help giggle when I drive it.
As you can see there is even a trash can with a trash can holder that Granpa made so the trash can wouldn't tip over. Now, what should we name it???

O, boy!!!
Let's have a moment of silence for my fallen sewing machine........(1 minute later).... Something is wrong with the on/off switch or the inlet where the plug goes into the machine. Since it's electrical, suffice it to say, it's going to be a lot of $$$$$$. Tears....
RIP, faithful friend - until I can get you repaired.
