I LOVE LOLA

WHO IS LOLA ?
That I am sure is a question many of you are asking yourselves right about now.
no- not a relative or even a very good friend.
not a "movie-star idol" or singer.
LOLA is my car.
a 1994 Volvo which is completely devoted to my personal comfort.
leather HEATED seats, a sweet little moonroof, perfectly adjustable mirrors, lumbar support.....i just love LOLA.
but today LOLA had to visit the doctor- a trip to Kreager in Millersport-
tie rods, tires and a ball joint-- and a hefty bill but she was in good hands....
Dan and the guys there took exceptional care of her.
she's good as new-
and Dan owes us his best Tina Turner rendition at the next Open Mic....
need a repair for your baby--
check out Kreager Tire in Millersport-- ask for Dan-- tell him kathy sent you.
