Nice and legal again !

Since Mike's birthday was Friday,As per Ohio's BMV laws,our cars' licence plates expired. Unfortunately with my post op doctor's appointment and it being my first time out since returning from the hospital and the noticing of infection and all,we forgot to renew our ( or our teenagers') licence plates. When we realized Saturday, the BMV was closed until today so we just vowed to rectify the situation (and pay the late fine of $20 per vehicle) today. When Mike got off work this morning,we went straight to the BMV and were pleasantly surprised to find out that we would not be charged the $80 fine because we had seven calendar days grace period, so we gladly paid the price for plate renewal( even though it has gone up yet again to between $56- $102 per car) and are now breathing a sigh of relief that we are legal again .
