               Good morning to you and all the other people too. We hope your day is outstanding and that we are all showing kindness to others.

                I do not need to get Alex and take him to school today, his mother will take him. Now I will still need to leave the homestead to get a cup of coffee from the star coffee place. Would you believe my favorite wife has suggested that I could stop at the burrito place and get a breakfast burrito after I get my coffee. In truth, she didn't, I did.

                Now I do have a problem with getting the burrito, my wife is still sleeping, and I will not leave the house while she is sleeping. So, me being hungry is ok and I will just wait until she is ready to get up.

I went to a car dealer yesterday driving the Grand Caravan to see what they say it is worth as a trade in. The salesperson I have talked to recently was busy with a customer, so I left. I should have made an appointment.

Leaving the first dealership, I went to another car dealer where I again looked at a vehicle. I like the vehicles at both dealers, and they have basically the same safety equipment. The salesperson at the second dealer asked a bunch of questions about the grand caravan and came up with a price if I was going to sell it to someone. He said I would get more out of selling the van than I would if I traded it in on a vehicle. When you trade a vehicle they pay you less than it is worth, then they sell it for what it is worth so they make a profit.

Leaving the second dealer I went back to the first car dealer. I did not see the salesperson, and no one came to me to see if they could help me. I then left that dealer and went to Wally World for some items. I got a couple items and some ice cream which my favorite wife had suggested I should get.

Back home that evening, I got a text from the sales manager at the first dealership wanting to know what they could do to get my business. I explained that I had been there twice hoping to get a possible value of the Grand Caravan and never got to talk with the salesperson. The sales manager wants to send someone to our house today to give us a possible value.

Well, I guess I should stop for now and see if I can get my wife out of bed as I need the burrito. We hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do. Thank the Lord for all he does for you.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.
