Tools

I originally wrote this late last night, but the pictures would not load. So, here it is now instead. 

 

 On Monday I renewed the tags for our vehicles for another year - pay the taxes, get the sticker - you know the drill. 

 But on Monday, it was pouring down rain, ALL DAY LONG. 

 So I simply stuck the renewal stickers in my purse and forgot about them. 

 Yesterday, out of the clear blue (and under a clear blue sky, I might add) I remembered them. It had only been two days, but they had been a very full two days, which had included a dreadful cold, two sleepless nights, and a diagnosis of an ear infection in the redhead. (who, thankfully, finally, slept all night long last night).  

 Back to the original story.... 

 I was slightly afraid that the stickers were lost, which would be a $300 mistake... luckily, I found them, safe and sound exactly where I had left them. Still in my purse. Surprise, surprise! 

 Next: apply them to the vehicles. Now, I like tools. Especially when they come in little "sets", neatly stored in containers with everything nicely organized and labeled. I am fairly sure I have admitted before that I am slightly OCD. This tool set fits me to a T. 

 I felt empowered yesterday afternoon. It really is quite easy to unscrew a license plate cover, put a renewal sticker on, and screw it back on - but normally, that would be an "Andy job". Andy is not available, so I did that easy job by myself. And it felt good. 

      

 (in case you can't tell, the cover says, "POW's, you are not forgotten")

 I "fixed" my car, and the truck. The boys got out their "vehicles and toolboxes" too, and played in the driveway for a while. It even got hot enough for them to feel the need to take off their shirts.  They make me laugh. My little hillbillies...

Ya'll come back now, ya here!
