Domesticated Suburbanites



And so it goes, the Millers (especially the Mrs.) have officially been domesticated. Earlier this week, the silver Camry went out the door and in came the new-to-us 2000 Suburban. The joys of living in a small rural area include being able to call the local dealership and arrange for the owner to meet you sometime around 6pm, have your good friend who happens to be a mechanic ride along for the 90 mile (one way) trip and run diagnostic tests on the potential purchase right then and there, and AFTER buying the rig driving it home when the dirt road to your house has had an inch of rain and the 4WD is a MUST! As you can see, it was tested last evening at the lake and we are headed out the door again for another evening session. Gwen gave it two thumbs up, so we must be doing ok. In any case, the vehicle needs a name and, dear readers, it is your job to come up with one. The prize? Getting your name plastered all over the blog and House of Miller using it to refer to said new purchase! :)

PS - Although domesticated now, Anne does plan to add some detailing...something along the lines of stick on (and off) flame decals or something else that allows her to pretend for a little while that it really is an Austin Martin.

  4. Congrats on the new Suburban. May I suggest Sandy? You know, it will be covered with dirt, mud, and sand from the lake!

    (I can't believe naming a car only gets notoriety, and not cherry coffeecake!)

  8. I believe back in the day, families packed everything they owned in the "SHEEP WAGON" and moved with their bands of sheep. It looks to me the Miller family packs everything in the new Sheep Wagon and heads to the lake or maybe it is prairie dog hunting.
    Isn't it soooo very nice to have room to put it all?!!! There is even room for another baby!
