We bought a new to us Toyota Tundra. I have been looking online, Craig’s List, from Oregon south to the bay area for a month or more, every day. Seems like if you have a Toyota truck, especially a Tundra, you don’t sell them. They don’t lose value and there are few to find, especially […]
I am remembering my Dad and Mom, both have left this world. So Dad died last year on Mother’s Day. My Mom died in June 1986, so Mother’s Day has always been a bit hard, now it is really painful.
