out with the old, in with the new!


no, not talking about plastic surgery! much more critically, the mini is gone - caput - a figment of our (twisted) imaginations. that little yellow bee has flown away for good - good! and in it's stead is the red beetle - just on time, for some good luck! now, we've pinned all our hopes on this car and it better come through!

a sense of relief ... yes, it seems totally ridiculous, and yet, somehow we've convinced ourselves that everything will run smoothly now that the VW has arrived. red - a protective amulet of sorts.

the question i pose as we pull up into the driveway is: are we in forward or reverse? when we move into the house eight years ago, we are driving the exact same 'pair' of cars ... a red beetle and a white suburban. and that's what's sitting out there now - so maybe it's just a case of back to the future?

at any rate, it feels good for jane, a fresh start of sorts. a nice clean white interior (pure), a shiny bright red exterior (flashy) - maybe exactly what we're looking for in ourselves!

happy driving,

h
