My day started at the garage today. The radio in our van was replaced after it stopped recognizing ipods and phones that were plugged into it. A few months after that it stopped working altogether and made a popping noise every few seconds whether or not the van was turned on. A computer reset fixedContinue reading “Cars and Bikes”

Running Around Again
Owen had two baby teeth, one on each side on the top, that should have been pushed out by the adult teeth but were instead clinging in and pushing his adult teeth out of line. So today the dentist pulled them. Owen appeared quite calm and replied that he wasn’t nervous when asked by theContinue reading “Running Around Again”

It was her final day of her summer 2 credit co-op program. It is a 25 minute drive at that time of day. When we arrivedContinue reading “Running Around”
Seven Repairs in Five Years
My day started with the seventh dishwasher repair in five years on my seven year old dishwasher. I think I have now spent more repairing it than I paid for it in the first place. I have used the same repairman for over a decade. He has repaired my current dishwasher and the one itContinue reading “Seven Repairs in Five Years”
