April 20, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. Progress.

Progress is being made.  While we speak, Pancho is making ready the frame for the glass which will be installed at the top of the railing on our deck.  The railing was not high enough so we built on top of the sides and ordered glass for the front, all before we went to Mexico.    The glass had to be ordered.  Soon it will be installed…we hope before we leave.

The Escape has been repaired and sits in Christina's driveway.  The insurance company declared it a total loss so sent us a cheque.  We decided to make the repairs because the cost was $600. over the insurance money and the car has been a good car.  But getting the car back on the road has been complicated and it is not over yet.  We first were required to send our title to the insurance company who then sent it to the state as salvage.  The state will return it, which we eventually will receive.  Christina has obtained the application for a salvaged vehicle and has pictures of the damage.  Next and last step is to make an appointment to inspect the car with the state.  Until then, the car must sit.

The truck has completed the 100,000 check up.  It runs like a charm.  All the waiting and the organizing was worthwhile.  We will be ready and able to drive to Texas in early June with no anxiety about the truck.  Progress is always good for the soul.
