HELLO THERE 

SWEET PEAS,

*

HOW HAS THE WEEK BEEN TREATING YOU??

*

SPECIAL.......... I HOPE!!!

*

OUR WEEK HAS BEEN A LIL BIT FUN,  A LIL BIT

 SCARY, A LIL BIT CRAZY, A LIL BIT EXCITING

 AND A LOT  RAIN DREARY,

BUT WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THE RAIN

 CAUSE WE SURE HAVE  NEEDED IT, AND THE

 LAWN LOOKS HAPPY AND GREEN!!  LOL

*

AND WE  ARE THANKFUL FOR THE

FUN, CRAZY AND EXCITING AS WELL!!

AND EVEN THE SCARY....AFTER THE
FACT!! LOL

*

I WILL EXPLAIN..............

*

TUES. LATE AFTERNOON WE GOT A CALL

FROM OUR DAUGHTER, SHE HAD GOTTEN OFF

 WORK EARLY TO TAKE ROSIE (OUR GRAND-DOG)

TO THE VET CAUSE THERE WAS SOMETHING 

WRONG WITH HER EYE.  DEE  PULLED INTO THE 

GARAGE AT  HER PLACE, RAN IN AND GRABBED 

ROSIE RAN BACK TO THE CAR, AND WHEN SHE 

GOT IN THE CAR... SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE 

AND SAW SMOKE ACCOMPANIED BY A HORRIBLE 

SMELL, AS SHE REALIZED THE CAR WAS

 OVERHEATING.   SO SHE GRABBED ROSIE AND

 JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR, AND THAT IS WHEN SHE 

CALLED US.

*

  SO WE WENT OVER TO TAKE

ROSIE TO THE VET, WHILE HUBBY WAS GONNA

 CHECK OUT THE CAR.....SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD 

BLOWN A HEAD GASKET.

*

FORTUNATELY, ROSIES EYE SEEMED TO BE 

MUCH BETTER, SO WE DIDN'T WIND UP TAKING

 HER IN, AND HUBBY FOUND SHE HAD A HOLE

BLOWN IN HER RADIATOR. HUBBY TURNED THE

CAR ON IN ORDER TO PUT WATER IN HER

 RADIATOR, AND WHEN HE GOT OUT OF THE

 CAR TO DO THAT, UNBEKNOWST TO HIM THE

AUTO LOCKS LOCKED THE DOOR.  NOW HE

IS REALIZING WHAT SHE HEARD WAS THE 

RADIATOR BLEW A BIG HOLE IN ITSELF, AND

NOW THE CAR IS OVERHEATING AND  YOU

GUESSED IT.........HE CAN NOT GET IN THE CAR,

SO HE HURRIEDLY ASKED DEE FOR KEYS,  TO 

WHICH SHE REPLIED, BOTH

SETS ARE IN THE CAR!!

*

NOW COMES THE SCARY PART!

HE RUNS BACK OUT TO THE RIDICULOUSLY

 SMALL ONE CAR GARAGE TRYING TO FIGURE 

OUT WHAT TO DO NOW.......MEANWHILE HOT

WATER IS BUBBLING AND SLOSHING ANGRILY

OUT OF THE RADIATOR HOLES  ALONG WITH

STEAM AND WE ARE ALL AFRAID IT IS GONNA 

BLOW ANY MINUTE WITH HUBBY UNDER THE

 HOOD.  DEE AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,

 BUT I THOUGHT I AM GONNA CALL THE FIRE

 DEPT. BECAUSE IF THIS THING BLOWS THERE

IS PROBABLY GONNA BE A FIRE AND AN

  INJURY.  DEE GAVE ME HER PHONE AND I 

HAD JUST PUNCHED IN 911, BUT DIDN'T 

KNOW HOW TO WORK HER PHONE, AND

THEN SHE LOOKED OUT THE DOOR AND

HE HAD FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO TURN IT

 OFF.  OH MY, WHAT A HUGE  RELIEF!!

*

OUR HERO............HE HAD DISCONNECTED

THE BATTERY BUT IT STILL KEPT GOING, SO 

HE HAD TO PULL THE DISTRIBUTOR WIRES

AND A FEW SECONDS LATER IT STOPPED.

SO MY 

#1

 THANKFUL TO OUR HEAVENLY FATHER

I SHUDDER TO THINK ALL THAT COULD

HAVE HAPPENED.  TO MY PRECIOUS HUBBY,
