I'm sorry to hear about Lindsey J Parsons. Very sad.
ReplyDeleteWell, um, words escape me again. I will say, I've never heard of this car, but it's quite nice looking. Get it for her. She's a sweet girl.
It's called an "Adam" and she'll trash it in a week. I'm so not going to sell my soul for this week's plaything.
ReplyDeleteOh go on you know you want to spoil her!

I spoil her to death, already.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity about Lindsey, a nice person and great writer.
