Hi Shawn,


 RH> I think it's time you do some serious thinking about trading up. We'd

 SH> Yes agree with you there.  We were talking about it yesterday and
 SH> looking at the bank account. ;)

We were able to put a good bit down, then go with a 3 year loan. Got the
initial financing thru Ford's banking (7. something %) but immediately
went to our credit union and got a loan at 4.25%; helps that we've been
with them for 43 years.

 RH> key so we could look inside, then took it for a test drive. It had all
 RH> that we wanted and then some, even to the color. The next day it was
 RH> ours.

 SH> Nice.  If we got something for travel we'd also need a new vehicle as
 SH> my SUV is a 4 cyl escape and can't tow a whole lot.

We've had 2 Escapes, traded the 2009 one in in Nov. 2015 for a 2016 so
we could have the "oomph" to tow the R-Pod. I really liked the older one
but...... The newer one was involved in an accident in Dec. 2016 out in
Wyoming (snow, ice, wind on a bridge) and we came home with the
Frontier. That was just traded for the F-150.

 RH> It is; only downside (if any) is that it's tall enough that I lower
 my RH> seat to make it easier to get out, then raise it back up when I
 get it.

 SH> I'm short and have to climb into the vans at work.  So I understand
 SH> that move!

I think I've shrunk a bit over the years. Noticed that when I was trying
to get something from the top shelf of my spice cabinet (yes, I've got a
whole cabinet devoted to them) a while back. Had to get the little one
step stool I keep in the kitchen to get the crushed red pepper. I also
keep a one step stool in my sewing room to get to the closet shelf.
