Inspired by my dear friend Allison, I took up the challenge to take a photo each day in 2011 to document my life. I embarked on this with some trepidation (I was not sure I would remember to take a picture every day), and with some curiosity: I didn't have a plan for this project and I was excited to see how it would evolve. What would my life look like, day by day, throughout one year?

Well, one year on, I am addicted to this project. I already took a lot of photos of my children but I have loved the way the 365 challenge has disciplined me to think about and appreciate EVERY SINGLE day - and the precious moments in every day that in the past have flown by unnoticed... I am thrilled to continue with this blog in 2012 - although it really should be retitled: Day by Day 366! Looking forward to a new year...

Day 255: Dilemma

This is Old Blue (or Old Bluie, depending on which member of the family you ask), our twenty year old Oldsmobile, which was kindly given to David when we moved here, nearly eight years ago. This car has been a faithful friend and we have had many adventures in it (and a near disaster when I liquified the brakes on a narrow, winding mountain road and was unable to stop - sorry Jo!). Now we have learned that it needs serious repair work done. Do we fix it, buy a newer, more fuel efficient car, or see if we can make do with one vehicle? Decisions, decisions...
