Colonel Mustard and the Cube

Posted by rufeo on Aug 25, 2009 in Life |

The movie “Cars” is one of Melissa’s favorites; however her auntie seems to be having the worst time with vehicles right now.  :(

As you already know I went mattress surfing a few weeks ago; as a result my beautiful Malibu was totaled.  I got a rental car that was totally sweet (2008 Malibu) but had to return it when I went home on vacation.  I am now the not-so-proud-owner of a GOLD!!!! ford focus.  I am very greatful that God has provided a car for me… but does it really have to be gold?  I refer to my car (actually its Daniel’s car) as Colonel Mustard.

Well the other day I was once again about to go visit James and Renae.  I was driving around the block at the dorm when I got a flat tire.  That did it!  I was in tears over a silly car!  Thankfully Mr. and Mrs. Wilson came to my rescue and helped me take care of the Colonel. The Wilson’s vehicles are currently acting up on them so they were in a rental vehicle (the Cube). And yes, i got to ride in it when we went to walmart to get a new tire.  The Cube is truly a unique car.

I never made it to James and Renae’s.  But I am very greatful to people like the Wilsons who are willing to help me… and sometimes spoil me.

See, I told you going to visit James and Renae was dangerous. ;) jk
I’m glad at least YOU are okay. I remember us talking about your guardian angel, and Hannah’s guardian angel, but I don’t remember what we concluded… Anyways, neither one of them is doing his job, that’s for sure! :)

What is wrong with a car being Gold?? And as the proud “owner” of the car I do not think the car should be called Colonel Mustard, because for one thing it isn’t even a mustard color….whatever….at least you are O.K.

I am glad my parents take care of you when we can’t. :)

Hmmm…I don’t care what Daniel says, I think Colonel Mustard is a great name for a gold car. Sorry about the flat. :(

I have to agree that Colonel Mustard is a PERFECT name for Daniel/Ruth’s car. I have found out in the last couple of weeks that the Lord has a sense of humor. He provided you with a car but decided to make it a very lovely GOLD color so you could appreciate it even more :)
