Our fifth day carless. The car is in the shop. I have to thank God that it broke down when it did, because it is costing everything we have left from our income tax to fix it. Honestly, though, I am not upset about that. It has been a long time building up. There are so many little things that needed done - a new emergency brake is one example, and also all new tires.
We are basically sitting here waiting for the mechanic to call saying the car is ready. We are all a little stir crazy.
I am pretty psyched - we ordered a couple boxes of food from Angel Food Ministries. It is a great way to get good food for a cheaper price. We paid on-line with our card, and will pick the food up next weekend in a local church. It will really help with our grocery bill last night - we got a lot of produce, which is so expensive regularly. If we are pleased with the food, I will make sure to order again.
I got to spend some time with my sister yesterday. She'll be leaving soon, and I will miss her again. I feel like it takes days to get even close to caught up. Ah, well, that's life.
Boo is progessing well with his reading. He read half of Hop on Pop to his father last night to show off, and Lee was duly impressed. I am so pleased.

I'm going to miss Sarah an awful lot this time. The whole time she has been here I have been sick with the flu and didn't get to do anything special with her.
I was just talking to Mom today about Boo. So many times I've told you how much I like to hear him talk. I told Jenni I think in some ways I had a very similar personality to him at that age. No matter what the subject or question is Elijah will always add his unsolicited editorial. :)
On another subject, thanks for always finding time to read and comment on the few things I publish online. It's not that I need any comments , but I like to know that you get know more about who I am and what I think. There so little time in our busy lives for meaningful time to spend with our loved ones.
Love,
Daddy
Well, Daddy, we wouldn't want you to get a big head or anything, but it's entirely possible that I enjoy everything you write as much as I would something by C. S. Lewis or whoever my latest crush happened to be... I'm just saying.
