AROUND THE HOUSE

My Jeep gets out of the “car” hospital Thursday. Unfortunately I have to park it under trees. During one of the recent storms a falling limb hit it and put a dent in the frame above the driver’s door. I am driving a rental 2017 Hyundai Elantra in the meantime. I’ll be glad to get my Jeep back. I use my Jeep like a truck and I have to keep this rental car sparkling inside and out unlike my trusty steed.

If you have news to share please let me know. All news for next week must be received by Monday evening in order to be published in the Thursday edition of the Transylvania Times.
