Day 295: No-Spend Day

I skipped church today in favor of giving The Husband a day off by volunteering to drive The Son to his baseball game.  The Daughter, who does childcare at church, was able to drive herself.  The Son’s game was way up north; our path up there lead right past The Husband’s office.  So The Daughter [...]
