The math doesn't add up...

My BIL is a trucker, and has stored a car at our house for quite some time.  Well, he finally has decided that he doesn't really want the car, and would Husband see about getting an idea of how much it would sell for.

Husband cleaned out the car, (it had been used for storage of books, clothing, and whatnot for BIL).  He then gave it a pretty good wash.  (It was stored next to the hay, behind all the other vehicles, and the cats thought it was a perch.  It was a mess...)

So, I wasn't paying much attention, Husband was looking on line, as is his wont, then he called BIL.  Husband and BIL traded bits of the day, where he was, what was going on with one and the other, then Husband started giving him an update on the car.  Letting him know that it had cleaned up well, still runs (!!!), and getting info on what and where the boxes of books and clothing were going.  Then he pipes up and says,

"The bad news is your car is worth about $500, and those are selling for a dime a dozen on Craigslist."

They both had to stop talking until I finished laughing...

And, because the car is not much to look at, here's a picture of Lorenzo...

Food?  Oh, camera... Meh.

Looking at Eternity.

I was quietly knitting yesterday morning.  Had the radio on, listening to the news.  Just an average day.  The neighbor called.  We had a llama down.  So, after finding out where Husband was, (he was puttering about in the boat, working on some 'fix its'), we went up and checked.  I had horrid thoughts of more cougars, torn up bodies, the works. What we found, was just a llama, slumped over, like it was asleep.

It was Llama.  She looked like she had in life, her eyes were open, with that soft, questioning look.  But now, she's looking at Eternity.

This was a photo of her (MUCH earlier), when she was in her 'zen' mode.  She was at least 20 plus some, which is not young for a llama, and this season hadn't treated her too well.  I had been giving her extra feed, letting her stay in the chicken house, if she wanted, (she didn't), and occasionally giving her a banana. (She adored bananas.)  But, I guess life caught up with her, and she just didn't quite make spring. 

I'll miss her.
