<p align="center"><em><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">A blog by Chicken Wrangler Sara</span></span></span></em></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><a href="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/istock_000009885148medium.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3530" alt="Thinking" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/istock_000009885148medium.jpg?w=300" width="300" height="223" /></a>The Miller Farm reached a milestone this summer – we now have 5 drivers and 5 cars which would be fine if we actually lived on a farm with lots of room.  We actually live on a busy street in the middle of town.  There were many mornings this summer when everyone was home that we played “musical cars.”  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Fortunately for the neighbors, unfortunately for the parents, the whole family is seldom at home simultaneously.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Our oldest daughter’s car, named <em>Pepe</em>, started having problems.  We sent her back to school with a more reliable car and planned to get hers fixed.  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I didn’t mind driving <em>Pepe</em>, even if it meant coaxing <em>Pepe</em> into starting at times.  It did make trips to the grocery store a little challenging.  I usually park in the same spot each Monday when I shop.  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">One week, however, someone was in my spot.  Apparently they didn’t get the memo.  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Anyway, I was in <em>Pepe</em> and in a different spot, which meant I had to remember where I parked the car.  That's pretty much the hardest question of every day for me.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I texted my husband and told him if I wasn’t home in two hours to send out a search party.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><em>Pepe</em> finally reached a point where he needed mechanical attention.  We took him to our friend to do the work and our friend loaned us a car to use.  This family has small children and seeing the doll shoe in the back seat and the waffle fry on the floor reminds me of days long gone.  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I took this borrowed car to the feed store today to get quail food.  The procedure at the feed store is to go inside to the counter and place your order.  The order is sent to the warehouse and then brought to your car.  </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">The clerk at the counter always asks “What are you driving today?”  Another hard question for me to answer some days. I was very proud of myself for being able to answer that question correctly the first time.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">I’ve seen advertisements for computer programs that are basically brain puzzles.  They are supposed to exercise your brain and improve your memory.  I 've decided my brain gets enough exercise just living day to day on Miller Farm.</span></span></span></p>
