Number 1 was home this weekend. Always a good thing. But about 30 minutes into his return trip, he heard a weird noise in his car. I wasn’t home, and not wanting to risk it. We just had him turn around and take my car so I could try to fix his. He also left me with, ” Oh yeah, it also overheats every once in a while.” Knowing that I would have to drive it to figure out the noise, I started with a new thermostat. And then a new radiator hose…and then a radiator purge…and then a new radiator, oil change, inspection, and tire rotation. The noise is still there. Feeling a little salty this morning.
Lunch Box Quotes are notes I usually include in the kids’ lunches. Since Number 1 is off in college and Number 2 is skipping lunch now (he’s trying to cut weight for lacrosse), they both get a text. Both 3 and 4 get handwritten notes on napkins.
