Just Jack

The last time I bought a new (or used) car was December, 1996.  As saving for old age is no longer a necessity, I threw caution to the wind and ordered this Mini Cooper S. A friend insisted on naming it – at first we chose "Black Jack" because of the decal I ordered to disguise the sunroof, but we figured that was already a popular name, so we went with "Just Jack."

Jack is actually dark grey-green but need the right light to show it off. The likely ultimate owner of this car was also intimately involved in selecting the various options.

It's a "happy car" and I can't help smiling every time I see it.

Impatient Impatiens

For the past six years, I've planted impatiens underneath the entry archway to my house. Most of the time, they don't turn out as well as could be. They sure made up for it this year, though!
