Catching up on the past few days and image only uploads, Erin came to visit with Jen and they had such a good time. There was a moment I wish I'd photographed where they'd gotten midnight munchies and made a sandwich and I came in just as Erin was trying to get her mom to take a bite and their look was priceless, like kids caught but just laughing it off. I know it meant so much to Jennifer to have that time with her Daughter. It made me consider how, someday in the not too distant future, my kids will be on their own and when the chance presents itself for us to be together I'll feel the same joy. Beforehand, the 4 of us went and test drove a Tesla X and a Tesla S. They're absolutely wonderful but the price isn't something I can justify and I Jen came to the same conclusion. We like being debt free and the ~$1750/month cost would pretty much be better spent in any number of other ways far more important with far more value and ROI. She'll keep looking. We'll work it out. I also took Lauren driving and she did wonderful. She had it down on the first day, and the next am was exponentially better. I realize her vision may be a barrier but I think it's fully worth pursuing options. I've been messing around with the clear ice tray I bought and enjoying the whole process of trial, error, success and fine-tuning the process. Had a social distance dinner at Jon/Cheryls w/dogs tonight. Really great evening, weather, food and conversation. Need to start doing this more as we ease restrictions within reason.
