    Talking We have a new addition to our family ---



    It's... It's... It's a 1991 Volvo!

    I don't know how I managed it, but, somehow I squirreled enough away to buy the Old Man a car for his birthday! (His birthday isn't until July 7th, but I just had to give it to him today)

    It may not be 'new' but it's his -very first car- and he is excited.

    I can't be out of money... I still have checks left!

    Oh you have no idea sister!

    He seems to be happy with it... and of course, when he showed it to DD's BigDad, the two of them stood there measuring the trunk to see what 'goodies' they can fit in there
