Still No New Computer

Still no Hope computer, but we did buy a desk.  $40, on clearance because while the black one is very popular, no one seems to want the white ones. For $40?  We’ll take the white one. It’s not assembled yet, but that’s okay.  That’s what tomorrows are for. Took a drive all the way out […]
