What a Weekend!

What a weekend! Saturday had our family spread out . . . Scott took Joel into Harrisburg to run a 10K race. The battery on the van died there. I drove over to Harrisburg to help get the van jumped. (Anna and I were in the middle of getting a blood test when Scott called.) Anna and I left to drive to Maryland, because Abby was spending the night at her cousin's sleepover. While in Maryland, one of the front tires on our car went flat! Thankfully, we discovered that problem while the car was parked, and not while driving. We were in a time crunch, since Abby had to be back in Pennsylvania at 4:00 p.m. for her job (at a pizza buffet!). We drove Dad's truck home; dad took care of the tire for us, and drove up to exchange vehicles today. I am so glad that both vehicles don't regularly break down on the same day! Today the van has a new battery, and the two holes in the tire are patched! Life goes on . . . . . . I am so appreciative of a strong, extended family unit---family members who are supportive and ready to be a part of the solution to some of the problems which creep up in life.
