Trades Have Begun

Does anyone like hand-me-downs or leftovers?

This week I've been without my old, private-school-teacher car because it has brake problems and I drive a long way in stop-and-go traffic.  Instead, I have my son's car, itself an old hand-me-down from my wife.  

Yesterday I got news of another hand-me-down headed my way.  We need to change our phone plan for some reason.  That's fine by me since I'm not that much of a phone user.  Then the embarrassing news - with the new plan I'm getting my son's phone.  Ugh!  Another hand-me-down from a teenager.

My son does have a job now, so maybe he makes more than me?  What will I get stuck with next week?  Do I get to still sit at the grown-up table?

Luckily, I got a extra Kellogg's card from Lee who has added many great comments to my posts.  Lee sent along the card below to help me with my 1972 Kellogg's unopened set.  We've sent a few cards to each other lately.  It's something I hope to continue in the future.

Now I am down to needing nine cards to complete this unopened set.  Thanks Lee.
