Rainy, rainy, rainy, rainy Saturday!

...and we spent it doing more car-shopping. We think we are about to make a decision; I just need to sleep on it. The cars under contention are a Toyota Camry (Drew's car) and a Nissan Altima (my car). All I can say is that cars have changed A LOT in the 16 years since I bought my last one!

At breakfast this morning, Rachel told me something that had occurred a few months ago (she thinks in April): She was walking in the hall at McKinley and a boy called out to her, "Girl! I've seen your sister. She looks like you, with brown hair, except her eyes are brown. And she's very tall."

"That's not my sister, that's my MOM!" Rachel replied.

As you can imagine, that anecdote delighted me. "You made my weekend!" I said.

"Actually, the boy did," Rachel replied. "I think you look like you're 20."

She paused.

"Except for the streaks of gray in your hair. And wrinkles."

Drew quickly jumped in.

"Rachel?" he said. "You should quit while you're ahead."
