55555

Dave loves numbers and has always been fascinated with cool patterns on the odometer. He was so glad to hit this milestone while he was driving. Unfortunately, if it had been me driving to school or out and about, I probably would have missed it.

Last night, we hit 55, 555 in the van. We were between the light at Smiths and the light at Main Street in AF, after going to Costco. Dave asked if I would put it on the blog so we could remember.

On another random note, one of my goals for Christmas break was to read the latest John Grisham book, The Confession. I didn't get very far into it. I realized how difficult it is to just sit down and read when I'm at home. If I'm sitting somewhere waiting, then there's nothing better than reading a book. But I often don't have my book with me (Kindle??) Anyway, I started reading it the last few nights and have gotten to the point of no return. I'm hoping to finish it today. It's a very interesting book, but a little frustrating and discouraging.

Last night at Costco, we bought new swimsuits for the girls for this summer. This morning when Audrey woke up she said, "Mom, are we going on vacation today?" I replied that I wished we were because I love going on vacation. Then I asked her why she wanted to go on vacation. She replied that she loves going someplace different and that she likes swimming. What brought this up is that she really wanted to wear her new swimsuit. I'm thinking it's time to go somewhere. We usually go at Christmas, but this year we got a puppy instead. I've got to find some pet friendly hotels or a good kennel!
