long distances anymore so it costs next to nothing to maintain it at this point. It recently had a recall and passed the recall repair with flying colors. The Honda dealership was very impressed with its condition. Our primary car is a 2011 Toyota Camry we bought new.

Honda CRV made at the end of 2007 (2008 model year). I leased it new and then bought it at the end of the lease term.

Wordle 7-7-7 was a lucky one for me!

I read every single one that my middle school had in the library. Nancy Drew who?!?!?

I loved Bill Peet books, especially How Droofus the Dragon Lost His Head and Huge Harold.






Read all of the Little House on the Prairie and The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series.

Only 7% of the population have O negative blood. Due to the its versatility for transfusions, it is in high demand. In an emergency, it is the blood product of choice. For example, just one car accident victim can require up to 100 units of O neg.

Meeting the demand for O negative blood is always a priority for the Red Cross.

O negative is the first blood supply to run out during a shortage due to its universality.
