Welcome to The Crazy Little Love Birds Link Party #75! This party provides a platform for sharing inspiring content such as recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home decor, and other uplifting ideas.
I hope everyone is doing well. Last weekend, we took our car in for maintenance. While we waited, we went across the street to look at a few cars. Honestly, I don't enjoy car shopping because I find the salespeople to be very pushy, not all but every time we have gone we have experienced this.
A week before Christmas last year, we were involved in a hit-and-run accident, and the person who hit us fled the scene. She left some scratches and minor dents on our vehicle. We later discovered that she was driving with a suspended license. Working with the police to sort everything out has been a hassle. On the bright side, we found a car detailing shop and received a quote for the repairs.-Yes it has taken this long!
Anyway, enough about me! I can't wait to share these wonderful features with all of you.

So sorry about your car. I also am not a big fan of pushy salespeople. I tend to walk out of shops if the salesperson hangs over me.
ReplyDeleteLisa, thank you. Yes, I wish they were less pushy; it doesn't make for a good experience. I'm happy that the accident wasn't so bad and that there were no injuries. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for being part of the party. We appreciate it!
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about your accident, but I'm glad you found a place that can get your car back to its original condition. It sounds like it's been quite a journey to get to this place!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing my kindness post. It's amazing how many kind people still exist around us when we stop to notice!
Lisa, thank you. Your kind words are appreciated. Yes, we are thankful to have found a place, even if it has taken so long. We enjoyed your post very much. It was a much-needed post.
DeleteI'm so sorry about the hit and run you experienced, Stephanie... that would definitely be unsettling and frustrating! As always, thanks so much for hosting us each week! We always find something new to explore! We're sharing #5 and #6 today. Happy Friday and Happy Weekend ahead!
ReplyDeleteLaura, thank you. We are doing much better. I am happy that there were no injuries. I appreciate your kindness. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. And, as always, we are happy to have you join us here. 😊
DeleteObviously this has been stressful, car repairs, car replacements and car insurance processes, always are, no matter how nice your own insurance agent might be. But there is just something different about a hit and run....kind of like a break in when you aren't home, you are left to deal with all of it on your own. I am glad it is done and your car is returned to you! I hope your springtime is filled with new adventures! Thanks so much for hosting! Melynda @scratchmadefood!
ReplyDeleteMelynda, thank you. Yes, there is something different about a hit and run. We thought getting out and exchanging information with the driver was the right thing to do, but she reversed and sped off. We were lucky to get photos of her vehicle and license plate. Thank you for joining us here at the party.
DeleteStephanie, I'm thrilled to be featured this week! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteSandra, you're very welcome. Thank you for joining us here.

Esme, thank you for joining us. We hope things go more smoothly. Have a great weekend.
DeleteI just bought a car two weeks ago so I feel your pain with the salespeople. I don't know why that industry is slimy, but I wanted to take a shower after we got home. :/ I shared 19 & 20 this time and am off now to visit other posts. Thank you so much for hosting, Stephanie!
ReplyDeleteJennifer, oh my, I'm the same after I get back from a car place. I always want to jump in the shower. I won't even sit on any of the furniture after arriving home since we sat in a few cars, lol. I hope you have a great weekend. Thanks for joining us.
DeleteI'm glad the hit & run didn't involve any of you getting hurt Stephanie. 😊
ReplyDeleteI'm sitting at #21 & 22 this week.
Thank you for hosting.
Blessings, Jennifer
Jennifer, thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteStephanie, thank you so much for featuring my journaling post! That makes me so happy, and I truly appreciate it! I'm so sorry about your accident. I know what you mean about car shopping. We bought our last 2 cars from a good car rental company near us. The cars were a year old and had been maintained beautifully. It has worked out for us, so I recommend it to others!
ReplyDeletePam, I'm so happy you found a nice place to purchase your cars. That's always nice. Everything seems to be working out well. I appreciate your kind words. We're ready to be done with repairs. Have a great weekend! We were so happy to feature your post. Journaling is a wonderful thing to do!
DeleteOh boy Steph, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident. Thank you so much for hosting and warm hospitality each week. I'm sitting at #25,25&27 this week.
