Remember when we drove my car 3500 miles across the country? Was that really three months ago? Somehow it seems longer…
TRUE CONFESSION TIME:
Until the other day, the interior of my car was yet to be cleaned.
MORE CONFESSION TIME:
And the entire three years I lived in Maryland, it was only vacuumed once.
Do I disgust you?
Before our move away and back I treated my car to a full cleansing about once a month. But where we lived in Maryland had no full service car wash.
No smiling attendant to take my keys and disappear while I perused a gift shop full of Willow Tree Figurines while sipping an Italian Soda.
No smiling attendant to return my car sparkling inside and out and smelling like vanilla.
I have returned and the utopia of car cleanliness is only a few scant miles from my home. That smiling attendant has been there waiting to happily remove all of my accumulated grime, but I have not visited.
Somehow I have been unable to reconcile the $30.00 charge for a car-wash. Perhaps it is because gas is now somewhere around $42 a gallon.
And I firmly believe that the family that works together has more opportunities to argue um…saves $30.
You may notice that there are no photos of me.
But I was doing my part.
Someone had to drink the Italian Soda.
Hate to burst your bubble, but there is a Mr. Car Wash on Route 40 in Ellicott City that would gladly take your keys while you waited, perhaps not with an italian soda or a Willow Tree Figurine shop but a shopping center next door while they cleaned your car. It is only $20.00 as well. But we do dearly miss you and your family and we are happy that you are home with your family that needs you and we look forward to seeing you again soon (hopefully).
I see you go the poncho route. We go the “there’s soap involved so it counts as a shower” route.
