I think you and I hung a couple of times. Too funny.<br /><br />I'm so glad your family is safe...that sounded quite scary.. i had no idea - about two weeks ago we had some snow and I drove with the 4 wheel on well when I tuned left or right the car would make a horrible noise - hubby said it's probably the front axle (our mechanic the last time we were there that it was rusting, rotting or drying up and would need a new one soon...well I told hubby to tell him I will drop off the truck on Saturday two Saturdays ago after Religion Instruction the kids and I did had to walk 6 block in the cold but after your story I am so glad we did. <br /><br />Love it how you all have a special trip with one child it is a special time. <br /><br />love bargains ....no really I go into a happy dance ( a very quiet hardly any movement happy dance)<br /><br />have a wonderful week ahead, enjoy Tuesday swimming :)Marisa Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09818816716586417433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-16635989411968852652015-01-20T00:21:34.001-05:002015-01-20T00:21:34.001-05:00Oh, I'm so glad your family is safe!

I'll forever attribute Cuckoo to a hilarious conversation that never really happened! (And I chuckle every time I think of it, too.)

My (years ago) beloved Jeep caught on fire just after it got a new engine (198k miles). Thinking that it may have happened when I was driving on the highway has always haunted me even though it shouldn't. I love pajama day at school but WHY do they always do it in the winter when it's freezing???
