Elen's got a couple of big events coming up - she's got a 6th grade camp coming up in a week or so - has three days at a camp at Flathead Lake with all of the 6th graders.

Elen is such an awesome kid, and it really ticks me off to know that people are bulling her. I used to get bullied as a kid (I was the fat kid who was also the teacher's pet, so I got it from both ends), and it sucks. On the plus side, it helped me develop a much thicker skin and a scathing sense of humor, which comes in very handy in adult life.

And William is just adorable. You have beautiful children, and that speaks volumes of you as a mother. The saying "The fruit does not fall far from the tree" comes to mind, and you are a mighty oak!

You're still doing F&I at the car dealership, right? My older brother is F&I manager at a dealership up in the Cleveland area. He actually loves it, because he has been crazy about cars since he was a wee tiny lad. I was a receptionist/cashier for a car dealer in Cleveland for several years, but I got burnt out on it because they kept adding more and more to the job. Still, like you said, it's a paycheck.

You're lovely, Ducky, thanks for this and yes, I'll pass that along to Elen.
Yep, still doing F&I and it's only really fun when you're selling stuff, considering that's how we get paid LOL BUT when you get a rough run, it's stressful.
You, my dear, are a wonder and I'm keeping you :D *hugs* Thanks again!
