Beautiful October Days

Thursday, October 17

This was a busy day!  Eric was home in the morning since he was flying out that morning.  I did my normal morning chores.  Dishes, counters, made the bed, showered, devotions, etc.  

I called the Laguna Hills Dept. The situation is three years ago, I sold my father-in-law's vehicle to a college-age man and his dad.  I left the plates on and I shouldn't have.  I should have said I would meet him at the DMV to transfer the title.  I didn't know to do this and will never make this mistake again.  The kid never put the title to the car in his name and never registered the vehicle.  The registration is two years expired and this kid is still driving it like that!  He received tickets for this but because it was never put in his name, the ticket went to me and Eric.  I mailed the paperwork from the Oregon DMV to the office that said I sold the vehicle.  I PRAY that this will clear it up.  I can't believe someone is so irresponsible to have done this.  There is basically nothing I can do because the title is still in my name.  

I also checked on a ticket that Eric recently got (when he had the accident).  He had to do a driver's safety class online and I wanted to make sure the DMV received that information that the class was completed.

I also submitted a new receipt for a reimbursement that was on hold for horse lessons under the school scholarship.

Then I browsed FB marketplace for a mower.  I found one that was just listed and set up to go look at it after I went to the airport.  I did go and bought it for $180!  It is a Honda as well which was our former mower.  Great shape and you could tell the guy takes care of his things by the way his property/home was.  I am SO grateful to God that He helped me to find this mower and be the first to contact him and was able to buy it!

Friday, October 18

It is Friday!  This week was full and went quickly!  Eric is at an event in Phoenix today.  Sierra works at Chick-Fil-A from 8am-2pm.  Summer will be doing her school day - today is Day 46.

I fed my starter and made sourdough dough.  It was a cool start to the day - 51 degrees!  It will get to 76 degrees though - a beautiful day!

Summer made a birthday meal for Sierra and we celebrated more. :). 

My baby boy.

Summer made little signs and quotes from the Andy Griffith Show for Sierra's birthday party.  She took a lot of time to do these.

Exercising.  The cats were very interested. :)

Stopped by for a free item and saw Sierra working.
