One of our neighbors walked up the steps while we were out there. I can’t imagine what he must have thought.

Second, to go to the local children’s hospital and offer my services for free in special cases as deemed by the hospital. We’ll see if I actually follow through with this idea. Doubtful, but fun to think about.

Next time she breaks her arm I’m going to make her get a white cast.
