Oct. 24th, 2004 12:31 pmYesterday was a very busy day.
We went to get the family portrait taken, and a picture of the two girls. I'll post them in a day or two, once I have had a chance to scan them at work. I've sent out photo cards every year for years, and really enjoyed doing it, too. I'm not sure we can afford to do so this year, which makes me quite sad.
Then we drove to see Rob's relative who is a used car salesman, and he had a nice Toyota Corolla ready for us to see. We put money down on it: it's a 1995 model with 75,000 miles on it. We got a very fair price for it. Now we just have to figure out how to pay for it. We name our cars with alternativing boy/girl names, following the letters of the alphabet. This car gets a boy's name starting with an H. There's a little ding on the front bumper, so the choice was obvious. It's Harry, of course!
Then we took the girls to the library to return their books and get new ones, and then went from there to the children's haunted house party at my office. Great fun, but we were pretty tired when we got back.
Today, I rip all the dead plants out of the garden, cut the lawn, and plant all those bulbs. Many thanks to
lsanderson who has lent me his power auger to make the holes for the bulbs.
