This is Rocky, our Melissa’s truck. He’s named Rocky because, well the kids have named every vehicle we’ve had, and they decided on Rocky. Over the years, we’ve had
- Christy, the gold Chrysler Town & Country
- Filomena, the black Chevy Suburban (Filomena is a character from Little House on the Prairie)
- Azula, the blue Toyota Sienna (azul is blue in Spanish)
- Jack, the black and grey Ford Econoline Conversion Van (they named it Jack in honor of my grandfather – we bought the van to drive to my grandfather’s funeral in Ohio)
- Poppy the popup camper
- and, of course, Rocky, the silver Ford F350
When we moved out to the country, we knew we were going to need a truck. We found this 2004 F350 Lariat Diesel on Craigslist – pristine condition, and only 91,000 miles on it 12 years later. So when our house finally sold, we bought the truck, and it’s been a tremendous blessing to our family.
