The Set-up and the Surprise

Guitar Teen is home for the week-end. I drove up to the halfway mark where I meet my parents and we do the Guitar Teen swap. On our way home, I tell GT that after we get home and he gets settled in, we need to run over to the neighborhood grocery store to pick up some snack food for him this week-end.

I get home, call my husband and ask him if he needs anything from the store. He tells me that he needs to call me back in about 45 minutes. After about 50 minutes, the phone rings and my husband gives me his "list." GT, Artist Girl and I head off to the store. As we pull into the parking lot, I notice a really nice SUV for sale. It is in the same color, make and model that GT has been interested in. He gets out to take down the details, I find parking, he meets up with us and GT gives me the details on Cherokee. He has already taken pictures and tells me how clean it is. I ask him if there was a price listed, but he says there wasn't, so to him it means it's probably too much.

We go into the store, buy some stuff for the week-end, and head home. GT asked to drive my car home because he has his learner permit. Imagine his surprise when we pull around the corner and he sees this . . .








in the driveway. The same vehicle that he had been looking at in the parking lot of the grocery store. He was blown away.

Happy Birthday Guitar Teen!
