Caddy

 Golda took G-Rex (the gold Cadillac) to college, which left Ruby without wheels for high school.  She got on KSL and found a sweet ride, a 1996 Cadillac Seville for $700.  That last week of summer, just when you're trying to squeeze in some fun time, hundreds of errands seem to come up.  One of them was driving to Perry to look at this car.  Scott was against it because it has almost 200 thousand miles, but Ruby was determined.  Fortunately, it seemed to run fine, and was in great shape for a 20 year old car.  Ruby forked over 700 of her hard-earned teaching dollars.  That's about 70 lessons.  But then we didn't have time to drive it home before ballet, so the nice couple who sold it to us offered to drive it to Kaysville, about a 30 minute drive.  The cherry red dream was waiting in the driveway when Ruby got home from ballet.  She could not have been happier.  What an accomplishment, to work long and hard enough to buy your own freedom in the form of four wheels.  I'm proud of Ruby.  She is not only self-motivated, but also kind to everyone, especially her younger siblings.  I'm sure they'll enjoy lots of rides in "Maria," Ruby's car.  Let's hope it holds up long enough to get her to school for the next two years!
