I realize that now I could be procrastinating cleaning and organizing the craft room, but decided I wasn’t up for it today.  I really wanted to get serious about it, but the weather has finally gotten cooler, around 70 degrees, and so we finally were able to take Rich’s Mustang for a ride.  He has a 1966 red Mustang convertible that I’m pretty sure is the love of his life.  As a kid, it was his dream car, and when we were in our thirties, I promised he would have one for his fortieth birthday.  A friend of ours who is a Mustang enthusiast, was keeping an eye out for any in our area.  Rich was thirty-seven when we found it and it looked great but really wasn’t.  Since we bought it, almost everything in the car has had to be replaced, and I mean everything.  He wanted to get it painted candy apple red, and we found a man and his wife that had a small body shop where they renovated old cars.  They told us it would take a long time to renovate and in the end, they had it for a year.  His car needed new doors, trunk lid, hood, floor boards, and that’s just some of the cosmetic things.  An engine, muffler system, electrical system, radio, and more on the mechanical side and every year, it costs about a thousand dollars just to get it on the road.

I think the reason I brought this up, is because crafting can be expensive at times as well, and we all have things that make us happy.  I’m thrilled that Rich loves his car and he’s really supportive of my YouTube channel and all it entails.  When you have the right partner in life, you share in each other’s happiness and I’m blessed I found the man for me.  I can always clean another day, but there aren’t many days that are perfect for a ride in an old convertible.  Those days are few and far between.
