{ My Saturday }

It's been a busy day, getting things done inside and outside the house.  Well, the outside was mainly Curt, he had to get an oil change, an inspection and his registration renewed.  I on the other hand spent the day inside, getting things done that really needed doing, but had been put off for a …
