Honda CR-V — 2017 — The 21st Century Matriarch

Usually February has been a low-key month with weather dampening activity. This year – the weather has been mild – and my celebrations have been more active than usual for February.

I celebrated outings to 1) Conowingo (for Bald Eagles), 2) Brookside (for witch hazel and snow drops), 3) Mt. Pleasant (skunk cabbage), and

4) State College (to see my daughter and son-in-law.

There were also learning experiences to celebrate: 5) the TED dialog with Yuval Harari (I enjoyed his “A Brief History of Humankind” via Coursera back August 2013) and 6) The Changing Global Order course on Coursera (from Universiteit Leiden).

There were new (big) purchases to celebrate: 7) a Samsung Galaxy S7 and

8) a new Honda CR-V for my husband (I am celebrated more room for me in the front passenger seat than in his previous car…and I am still celebrating my Prius Prime every time I drive it).

Two things for myself that I celebrated this month: 9) a short haircut that maximizes the little bit of natural curl my hair has and 10) lots of lots of Zentangle tiles (new pens and more time than usual to create tiles).

I had a lot of celebrate in February 2017!

We bought a new car from me last month (a Prius Prime – that I have posted about here and here). This month it was my husband’s turn. He had been looking at the Honda CR-Vs for the past few weeks – reading everything about it on the web, driving one at the closest dealership, and trying to decide which color he wanted. Earlier this week he made a final decision and bought a Molten Lava Pearl (red) CR-V Touring. It’s close to the same size at the car he drove previously – an Acura RD-X – but has a little more inside room and all the new driver’s aides (which were his main reason for wanting a new car). I like it because the was the glove compartment is configured give me more leg room on the front passenger side. I also like the vents and USB plugs for the backseat passengers (not that we have passengers very often).
