💎PEARL, our trusty Mercedes Sprinter Van Steed, just hit 200,000 miles!!!!
🙏🏻We bought Pearl in Willsonville, Oregon in 2020. She had 39,500 miles when we drove her off the lot and turned her into our mobile home. 🏠
She has since safely driven us annually in circles from the PNW down to Colorado, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah and to Scott's tribal land, the Choctaw Nation, in SE Oklahoma.🪶🧡
We named her Pearl after the character, "Pearl", from the cartoon, "Steven Universe". She is as helpful to us and as part of our team as the Pearls are to the Crystal Gems in Steven's world.
She has hauled, Pegasus, our jewelry studio trailer, sine 2021.
What a tremendous MILESTONE 👏 👌 🙌
We couldn't have done any of this without you, dear!!! It brings tears to my eyes as I write this, knowing how many memories both Pearl and Pegasus hold for Scott and myself.
Scott has a more intimate relationship with Pearl, as he built her into our sustainable, solar powered home. He even build a litter box with an external fan for Havana 🐈 He has done eveey oil change, every repair, other than tires.
We are truly blessed.
THANK YOU, PEARL!!!!!!
WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO PROUD THAT YOU ARE PART OF OUR SMALL FAMILY!
