New Wheels

I asked Evelyn's brother, Ken, to snap or picture Saturday beside the new (to us) used car we bought that morning. Ken has a friend in the Russell church who has a small used car lot in Ashland, KY, where they live. "I'll never buy another new car again," Ken said, because his friend, John McKinney, at River Cities Motors, buys reliable cars at excellent prices at the car auction and passes along the savings on good vehicles to his customers.
We think we got a good one, a 2012 Hyundai Sonata GLS with only 35,600 miles, 25,000 miles remaining of factory warranty and an excellent price.
I told John we might be sending some friends to Cincinnati his way. It would be worth the drive!
We drove to Ken and Susan's Friday night after my work. Got stuck in traffic behind a wreck on I-275, which added about 30 or more minutes to the trip. We drove through Wendy's for chicken nuggets and got to their house just after 8:30.  Susan had made a tasty dessert-bar-cake, sweet and tasty under mounds of wild blackberries they had just picked.
Susan made us a wonderful breakfast casserole the next morning, and then we went and visited the car dealership. It was great fun getting to know Ken's friend John.
We rested and visited in the afternoon before eating at a wonderful little Italian restaurant in a magnificent old building in downtown Ironton, Ohio. We left there about 7:30 and were home before 10:30.

  1. Thank You Mark and Evelyn for your business but more important than that your kindness this past Saturday. Dealing with folks like you make it very enjoyable for sure! Thanks for the kind words about the car lot! Hope to see you again soon. John
