Jill's Journal: In spite of Erika telling us tonight during dinner that she listens to our conversations after she’s in bed and knows a lot more about being an adult than we think she does (!), little girls are blessedly oblivious to grown-up problems like truck trouble. They were much more concerned today with a welcome break in the rain that bought some outdoor time. Here’s Madelyn dangling from the monkey bars in Salinas just before she realized that she hasn’t quite mastered them yet. Hadn't I just said two days ago that she lives in the moment and doesn't worry about the consequences?!
Rob’s truck is back from the mechanic, although it was ready too late this afternoon for us to leave today. The sensor is fixed, the oil in changed, and Rob left with recommendations from the shop for so many other things that
should be done it made our heads spin. We’ve heard it before, but apparently big Ford engines spend more time than usual visiting mechanics. UGH.

Erika's comment must've struck fear into your heart! (It did mine!) At least she let you in on her little eavesdropping secret...better to know than not, I guess. :)

Oh Diana, it did indeed strike fear into my heart. It made my whole life flash before my eyes as I thought quickly if there's anything she's heard that she shouldn't!! And you're right, definitely better to know than not...I will never again forget that ears are no longer too little to be listening! A good, albeit somewhat terrifying, lesson. :)
