UP!

Let me tell you about this wonderful day...



It started early with a trip to Sick Bay to get Chris some help with...


(and this is looking pretty good! His eye was swollen shut, and the poison ivy also covers various other parts of his body. He's feeling pretty uncomfortable, to say the least.)



After an hour and a half and one whopping shot in the arm later, we end up at the intersection of 5th and Vine in Marysville. When we finally came to a stop at the intersection the car looked like this...





and I had a citation for "failure to obey traffic signal". Yahoo. We are all fine. I will have bruising where the seat belt did it's job, and Micah has a small bump on his noggin, but we are all alive, and very grateful. Oh, I also have the opportunity to take an online defensive driving class that will keep this minor misdemeanor from showing up on my driving record if I can complete the course. Do you think it's worth the $25 fee? I probably won't be able to afford it after I pay the fine on the citation.



Later this evening, Lance decided to mow the weeds. (They are all that's growing at the moment.) As he was going around the propane tank, he bumped it and it now looks like this...















Are we having fun yet?
So, as far as I can tell, we can go nowhere from here but.....UP!

I'm so glad you are all okay. Including Lance tipping over a tank full of flammable material!

I'm hoping that you're having a better day today!! Did you gas leak out? That is rough.
I think I scared my Mom while driving yesterday, too. I didn't have a wreck, but I did get a little visit from a friendly officer. No ticket, though. Yea.
You may want to take the course....for insurance purposes.

WOW. At least your propane tank didn't explode I guess. That would have been bad. Good luck tomorrow!

I am so glad you all have come out ok, I am sure Chris feels awful, but you seemed to go from bad to really worse, I am so glad none of you were hurt in the car or that the tank being knocked over didn't do more damage...geez You all deserve everything to be up for a while I believe.

farewell

Until next time, friends!
