Putting the car away
Today the car was in the garage. We have been in the house for nine years and as far as anyone can remember this is the first time that a car is actually being parked inside. It was our way of transferring all of our belongings when we first moved here. The weigh station if you will. And then, like most home garages it became a depot. No need to put the car inside because it’s always being used. This is more of a someday we’ll do it. And so for the last couple of days my son has been hard at work trying to put some order into chaos. I can no longer assist and when it comes time to find stuff later I will simply write it off to experience. A sentence like I remember when we had will become part of vernacular. They have assured me that the car will not be staying inside. This is more just to see if they could. And so I did what anyone does. I took photos. A much better way to remember then counting on memory. And of course the the garage was large enough. We do not own a monster car. It is good to know that if we ever need to travel for who knows how long the car can be put out of sight and out of mind. I think that’s the main reason for having a garage after all. And it was nifty not neat but nifty to see occur inside where it was designed to be. If anyone ever asks if our garage is large enough we can now say yes tested and true. You open the door and you drive inside and you close the door. Not sure what else will do with it. After all we still store stuff there are tires and the kayak and a bike and some boxes and I imagine that they had to be shifted somewhat in place two for this adventure. But it has been done in the summer of 2024. And for the record our previous house did not have a garage. It barely had a driveway for a number of reasons. So it is good to see that we are making progress.
