Thought for the Day/Week

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY/WEEK:

"In my view, the Christian religion is most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed...No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."

~Noah Webster- preface to 1828 Dictionary~

THE NEW VAN!

Those who know us well, know that we are not prone to change. Therefore, some of you may be surprised to learn that the Chaney's have FINALLY downsized their family vehicle! Now, with only 7 people left at home, it seemed a little like "overkill" to continue using the 15 passenger gas guzzler that we have had for so long...(since 1996) It is still being used as a work vehicle for "Chaney's Heating and Air".

I spent hours on the computer looking at makes and models, comparing features, consumer reports, safety, price etc.

I have to admit, I was overwhelmed! Even more so after we decided on the Chrysler Town and Country minivan. Everything is computerized, and I have to program all sorts of things-garage door openers, safety blinkers, auto door locks, etc. We had another key made...no, not at Wal Mart as we've done all of our lives. It has to have a computer chip programmed into the key as a "theft protection" device or the van will not run!

It is an adjustment, but a wonderful van. We are blessed.
The seats in the back 2 rows actually fold down into the floor! (which is good since we have no space to store them in the garage due to all of our kid's financial ventures!!!) Welcome the Chaney family to the 21st century!
