Our SUV "Bella"

Peggy and I have lots of fun with the word "Bella". It's been going on for quite some time. Our Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs are Bella brand... I think the word had been in a few movies we've watched.

In time it has come to mean "excellent" or "beautiful" to us... our own word. How's the soup?.. itsa Bella! how was your day? it was a Bella day!

Peggy wanted to name our new vehicle... Chevrolet Equinox had too many syllables.. Red was a consideration, after all it is Cardinal Red Metal Flake... oh well.

We decided to call it Bella.

We're still breaking it in, keeping it switched to the "eco" mode of driving, which is still plenty fun. All wheel drive.

The dogs love riding in the back in their bed. We'll be packing it tomorrow morning with all sorts of stuff for a weekend get-away of work and play... oh yeah!

The dealer installed our "Rigid" hitch so now we can mount a bike rack that way for those adventures! We also had roof rack cross beams installed so we can load kayaks or a canoe up there too... Peggy and Marty's Adventure-mobile, "Bella".
