While I was contemplating a line-up of future blogs, it dawned on me that there was a space of about 4 years (March, '84 until April, '88), where I did little or no reporting about my interaction with my family. So, I decided to put the honeymoon story on hold and work on some "family happenings" during this period.
CAR FOR SALE (cheep!)
After dear wife's death there was no need for me to have two cars so I sold my AMC Gremlin to the MBC youth pastor for $1.00, as his growing family could use a second car. I took the car to the church and reminded him that he needed to get his own plates, but that I would leave mine on the car until he could get to the DMV and make the change, then destroy my plates. That was A BIG MISTAKE. About one month later I got a "greetings" from the Washington, D.C. police, with a ticket for overtime parking. Soooooo, I took the ticket and went to the pastor's house. There was my former car, sitting there with MY PLATES on it. After a short lecture on responsibility, he and I got into the Gremlin and went to the DMV where I paid for his new plates. On the spot, we made the change and I took my old plates home. He was left with the ticket to pay, so , the car actually cost him $36.00!!!
More, later.
