Life in another small town like all small towns...really

150150
The most miles I've put on one car by far and counting. Dents, sticky transmission and all, its a great goat, and people hauler. I know this falls short of some of you. How high have you made it?
Wow, Great! Yes, it's wonderful to drive them "forever." We've had Fords in the family that were handed down to the kids and had more than 200,000 miles on them when finally replaced. Of course, that was more than one driver, but it was all in the family. :)
This is a post I could have written, except I'm now at 157, 413. I feel bad, too, because I bought my Subaru brand new - my first new car ever - in October 2003...only 7 years ago. The farm life really takes a toll, but it's a good commuter car, too (that's where most of the miles have come from). I can't say I've hauled cattle in it, though, nor do I plan to start! The Forester model just isn't big enough. ;)
The blog is really notes to my friends, old and new, to let you know what's going on in our lives. Its also a diary of sorts for myself. It started at the farm in Ligonier, PA, hence the name, but now life and work has moved us back to Connecticut,
I've always taken lots of photos and sent postcards from everywhere we travel, just to keep in touch. Email took over and then the digital camera.
Instead of me plugging up your email, you can check in when you have the time.
And yes, another town with the same problems as any other!!!
Please enjoy and let me hear from you...really~

I know a lot of people know English much better than we know any other language, but for those that want some help, me included, I'm trying this translator. Please leave a message to let us know where you are viewing from. Ciao!

Just took my Honda Accord in to be serviced today, at 163,892. I love being thrifty with a car that runs and runs and runs.
Not too shabby! We had a Corsica that we turned over at least once and who knows if it had rolled before we got it!

I put 280,000+ on my last vehicle- a Dodge Caravan. I drive them till them drop.

Well my Explorer is a 2000 and I'm going to try and catch up with some of you if she'll let me.
I went to do the Cash for Clunker thing last year, but I couldn't get them to give anything past the Fed money, so I kept her.
She gets new tires and a drink of oil this week, so we're committed for a few more miles anyway.
