Hello, Again!

Time has gotten away from me. I'm unsure where it has gone, but it's been a few weeks since I've checked in here. Let me see what I can remember.

--We have been busy helping my FIL, who had heart surgery. We are very thankful that the surgery went well.

--There is more to our car saga. You may remember that we got a new car last January. After owning it for only a couple of weeks, someone ran into it and totaled it. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it took four months to get a new car and resolve all the paperwork. However, a month ago, the new car started to make a knocking sound, so we took it to the dealer. Thankfully, they heard the sound but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. After a week and consults with Honda headquarters, they still couldn't figure it out. We picked up the car and took it back yesterday when a specialist was flying in to look at it. Unfortunately, he was called away due to an emergency, so we have to take it back again next week. 

In the meantime, we got a big crack in our windshield, and the whole windshield has to be replaced. It is an expensive job because there's a camera in it. (These new-fangled cars. 😕) We are very thankful that we have more than one car during these times.

There are so many interesting things to see at the fair. This was a child's entry.

--Yesterday was the first day of our community fair. We participate in it almost every year, and this year was no exception. Ward and I both entered things and won a few ribbons. I love this fair. It's free, family-friendly, and really brings the community together. I am very thankful for all the volunteers' hard work in bringing this event together.

--About a month ago, a big apple tree came down during a storm. Yesterday, a tree guy came and processed the whole thing. With the proper equipment, the job went about 100 times faster than if we had done it ourselves. I am very thankful that we had the money to pay for this service, and when it was time to pay the bill, he charged us $100 less than he quoted.

--That's about all the time I have for catch-up this morning. I have to work all weekend and should start getting ready. I am not thrilled about the schedule, but I am very thankful that I get to work with people I like—both customers and coworkers.

Until next time...
