My Gramps called me over the weekend and–among other things–he asked so when are you going to put up a new blog? And I told him hopefully this week and I fully intended to get down to business on Sunday but then we had to run to town for odds and ends and the day [...]

A while ago I mentioned something in passing.  Something that was–something that is–much too big to be glossed over like that. I mentioned that we bought my baby girl a car. For reals.
