There was a lot involved in getting ready to hand off Flo to Joyce. I believe I already mentioned getting everything packed up and into my truck.
Many boxes and bags were employed. I also disposed of many items that had somehow escaped my detection earlier.
Business cards always come in such large lots! I think I disposed of a whole box as well as the pile on the left. I kept the small stack on the right as mementos of my travels.
Joyce was a lovely hostess and she made me feel right at home.
I was included in her family gatherings.
Even Cora was made to feel at home.
But eventually, there was no avoiding it. The deed had to be done. Pennsylvania had their own ways doing things, which I don’t even begin to understand.
Flo, the Progressive Insurance Lady looked on and gave her blessing to the whole procedure. Joyce signed, I signed.
Eventually the paperwork was complete and Joyce had Flo’s new license plate.
We went right back to the house. She took off the Texas plate and put on the new one.
The next day, I posed for one last photo with Flo. I was proud of having filled in the lower 48 on my map. Flo was really a Classic!
And with that, I got into Bart (the Big Ass Red Truck) with Cora in the carrier next to me and headed to my new home. Before you ask, yes, I had tears in my eyes as I pulled away.
This time, there was no Flo in the rearview mirror.
