What to do with Your Old Car

 

Hey neighbors!!

Is anyone considering a new vehicle for the holidays?  If so, what are you planning on doing with your present vehicle?  We recently sold our Equinox through a local ad and upgraded, sort of, to a Ford Explorer which we purchased from an individual.  The Explorer was a couple years older, but it has more room, and even a dash to place my camera.  Our Equinox did not have much of a dashboard.

Our son had a junker sitting in his garage and the vehicle he was using as an everyday car.  He decided to upgrade and went to a dealer and traded both vehicles in on his Mazda.  He is pretty happy with the new car and trading in, rather than selling, worked better for him.


A close friend of ours drove his mini-van until it was literally falling apart.  He found a new mini van at a used car dealership and purchased it outright.  Presently the other vehicle is still sitting in his driveway waiting for him to decide what to do.  He has talked about keeping it and using it for toting lumber and such when he is working on one of his projects so he won't damage his new van.  He has also considered turning it in to a junkyard for cash.  Either way, he definitely got his use out of this vehicle.

Some other ways to dispose of an older vehicle would be to donate it to a charity. Often times if they can't use the vehicle, they can sell it to raise funds.  If you know of a ministry that could assist you in giving the vehicle to a family in need, that might be an option at this time of year.  

Thanks for stopping by today, where neighbors share.  If you have any other ideas, please share them in the comments.

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child
