The day before we picked up our Casita, we enjoyed a wonderful evening with author friend Jeannie Barber and her husband. Jeannie is a delightful and interesting person, and we share common interests beyond writing. She is a trophy-winning drag racer, too! What fun we had. (Note us posing beside “Ice Cold Connie,” Jeannie’s racecar)

After picking up our Casita, we spent the next week or so on the road getting acquainted with her. Our travels took us to Santa Rosa, New Mexico, via Vernon, Texas, where we happened upon their classic car show. We knew we had made the right choice in getting the Casita.
