Around noon, Phil and I went over to Mesa's Red Mountain Adobe Multigenerational Center for their annual Scandinavian Springfest. Lots and lots of gray hairs! The gymnasium was filled with vendors with wares from Denmark, Iceland, Norway, Finland and Sweden. In another very large room they had traditional folk dancing from all 5 countries and food to buy. Phil couldn't even "pretend" to be a Swede for a day with me and have some lefse or fruit suppa. As a matter of fact, he was pretty darn hungry and chose not to partake. We stopped at Wendy's!
After Wendy's, we headed to our 2pm app't with our CPA. Tax time you know!!! Not as bad as I was expecting, thank goodness!Missy's car has been sitting in our driveway for the past week with unknown problems. She's been borrowing Phil's truck all week, which has been driving Phil nuts, since he knows how many miles she puts on her car in one day. Her 2005, Nissan Sentra had 141,000 miles on it. Anyway, after our tax app't we dropped by a couple of dealers to see what she could get for cheap, yet dependable. We ended up at my Mitsubishi dealer, and found a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt with 30,000 miles on it, for only $8,500. Perfect, like new condition, so called Missy to meet us over there. Long story short, we didn't get home until 8:30pm tonight, over 12 hours since I had left this morning, but Missy is now driving her new car. She was in the finance mgr's office at 8:00pm and he told her that this was the first and only sale of the day! That was kinda sad to hear. I love that dealership- everyone is just so genuinely nice, no pushy sales people!
