    <content type="html">Yeah, it's the final week of April and I still have a few decorations to take down and many, many boxes of&amp;nbsp; decorations to move to the storage shed.&amp;nbsp; I hope I can get them moved BEFORE May 1st, but I won't hold my breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news, we bought a new van this week.&amp;nbsp; Well, it's part new and part used.&amp;nbsp; The 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT is used (10,000 miles on it), but the wheelchair conversion is new.&amp;nbsp; So I'm sort of driving a hybrid?&amp;nbsp; Very excited about it even if it did cost a crazy amount of money.&amp;nbsp; I wrote the biggest check ever - bigger by a few thousand than our down payment on the house.&amp;nbsp; We're going to remove the wheelchair lock-down device from the old van and install it in the new one - that saves about $2000.&amp;nbsp; After all the paper work and title stuff goes in, then stonebender needs to go there so they can measure the placement of the lock-down.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sitting next to all the xmas boxes in the front room is the passenger seat from the old van.&amp;nbsp; Current decor is eclectic junkyard chic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=loracs&amp;ditemid=155112" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
