Oh, shucks! Blush, blush--but I do love the attention! Thanks, guys! My 2 old cars were on the verge of death & I bought myself my 1st new car for my bithday--a Suzuki Aerio SX AWD. It is a cute little hatchback that thinks it's an SUV. I'm driving it to work today for the 1st time. We woke to freezing rain this am (although it claims to be the 1st day of Spring!) & a 2-hour school delay, so I can take my time. This is a big time of change for me. My younger son graduates from high school this May & I can finally sell the ex-marital residence & move closer to my job (a 1-hr commute for the past 5 years!). In the fall, for the 1st time, I will cease being a caretaker of others & will have the luxury of considering myself. Lots of adjustments, but all good. For now, life is insane. I'm showing my house 4-6 times a week, along w/ full-time work schedule & 2 hours commuting, as well as looking at homes to move to. And now, we are all waiting to see if the world continues. May God grant wisdom to our world leaders, regardless of their position, & may the damage to persons & property be minimal.

Best to you all,

bbc (50 yrs old & ok w/ it!)(Thanks, Ken!)
