  • A New Friend

    I named her Pepper. Isn’t she pretty? Yep, I bought a car. Finally. If you remember in this post, I talked about my old car dying. Basically, the wheel broke off. So, that generally means it shouldn’t be driven anymore. At least, that’s what I hear. So, it was time for a new car. I…

One or two. I even worked outside on my porch one evening. With my jacket. For about fifteen, twenty minutes.…
