  • What a week

    So this has been one heck of a week.  It all started this time last Saturday.  Sister in law 1 called me because she wanted my wife and I to know that she was at the hospital with her boyfriend because he had horrible pains the night before.  It turned out to blockage in his intestines which could have killed him had they not caught it in time.  He was rushed into emergency surgery to have part of his intestines removed.  That was freaky.

    My wife and I then moved sister in law 2 to her and her fiance's new place.  After we had finished moving everything we were heading back along highway 44 when these torrential downpours began.  Visibility was low and because it had been so hot that day, combined with the rain, the roads were ultra slick and Sister in Law 2 was driving her dad's Ford F150 which she was not used to so I began to worry.  Sure enough down the road we see the truck blocking one lane and the shoulder facing west bound on east bound traffic.  I pull over and turn on my warning lights while she straightens out facing completely west bound now.  The truck is driveable but how do you safely turn around a full sized truck on the highway?  I called 911 so the police could help us.  The cops showed up and blocked a lane of traffic allowing her to turn the vehicle around. 

    If all that was not enough I came down with a bug of some sort.  It is making me congested and extremley tired.  WHEW!  So that is why I have not updated in a while.  There has been too much going on and I have been to sick to concentrate so my apologies everybody.  I hope to get back into the swing of things shortly here.
