Toyota Highlander

 Saturday, my sister and I started the day at the Folk Art Flea Market Sale. Waited in line for a hour before they would open the doors. Found one item, otherwise not much there of interest to me.

We left there and headed to Albuquerque to checkout the car I had put a deposit on. It turned out to be better than I expected. Except for a few minor dings and scratches it is in really good condition. 

2007 Toyota Highlander with all wheel drive and just under 100k miles. 

Bought the car from High Desert Auto Wholesale, Eric was extremely helpful answering all of my questions and concerns. We went through the whole car checking it out. I was in and out in about two and a half hours including a 30 minute test drive. I was very pleased with their professionalism.

Cocolat Truffles

 Being stuck on the hill at home I was running out of chocolate candy. I pulled out my Cocolat: Extraordinary Chocolate Desserts Cookbook and had the ingredients on hand to make truffles. So Good!!

Spent, Thursday, at the gallery, beautiful day, slow sales. I will be back again today, 6/6. 3 Firehouse Ln. Madrid New Mexico.

Some photos from the last few days.

Tomorrow I head down to Albuquerque to pick up my vehicle. 

Waiting

 I received a call yesterday morning, they will have my car available on Thursday. Of course, I am working at the gallery, both, Thursday and Friday, so I told them I would not be able to get there until Saturday. That is fine with them, though I did request to have it by Wednesday if possible. Waiting.
