Do you name your cars? We do, though I'm not sure why. We've not named every car we've had (and we've had a lot of cars), but my current car is The Brownie Bus.
Why Brownie Bus? Because my Pacifica (Hi Ho Silver) was not big enough to haul the Girl Scouts and all their stuff around. So Toben (sweet man) bought me an Expedition again. (I had a blue one--Big Blue--before Hi Ho Silver).
Brownie Bus is almost all packed and ready to haul the Girl Scouts up the mountain to camp after school today.
Thank you for your sleep prayers--I slept much better last night. And though I did wake up a few times, I rolled right over and went back to sleep. I was even sleeping when the alarm went off at 5. And I'm even feeling excited about going to camp, which is nothing short of a miracle. So thank you. And keep praying.
I love you all so much!
Have a wonderful time! I'm praying that the cool, crisp air will help you sleep well this weekend.
Hugs...

Have fun on your Brownie camping trip! I love reading about your Girl Scout adventures. I'm not brave enough for overnight trips yet - maybe in a couple years. My Brownies are only in first grade this year!

We do name our cars. My new Acadia is named Katie the Acadia. I'm not sure why it just is.

You're too cute with the car naming thing. We call ours as follows :the van, Dada's truck, the Tracer (because it's a Mercury Tracer) and the Mystique (because it's a Mercury Mystique) and the Jeep. Our old Ford Taurus, we called, are you ready for this? the Taurus.
Looking at that, I realize we have a lot of vehicles. But I guess that's what farm families do :-). Now I feel like I should 'splain/justify, but ah, well.

We call our Blue expedition, the behemouth... because of its large size!

The big blue bus! (Yes, it's a rather large suburban!)

We have Calvin Chrysler, (preceded by Dilbert Dodge), and RHonda Odyssey. The first car in my memory is Isabelle Vega. ;)
Blessings on your camping trip!

My car in high school was The Beast. (red 1978 Ford Fairmont station wagon) I don't know that I've named a vehicle since.
