My Kaneclusions!: Short and Sweet

I've been busy, so this one will be a short one. (The literary-challenged amongst us are hooraying in the background.)

A picture says a thousand words so I'll just post pictures of: 1) What Rachel is doing this summer and, 2) Me and the ol' ball and chain.

Scroll down if you care to see these pictures...

Me and the Ol' Ball and Chain

My Kaneclusion: Yes, I admit it. I'm corny. BUT, I have corny friends that will laugh at this. Thank God!

Rachel Quotes

Rachel has always driven behind the driver's seat in my MPV minivan. Recently, I've been dropping her off at school and the side she needs to get out on is the passenger side.

I've grown accustomed to this side." 4-25-2012
