The Saga Continues...

On Monday morning, Richard, being the dutiful husband that he is, took my tire into Costco to have it checked. They said, "Sorry! You didn't purchase the tire here, so we can't look at it." Bummer!

So.... he continued with his quest. He took the tire into Sam's Club. They ran a battery of tests. They couldn't detect a leak in the tire. What the heck? Do they not realize that the tire was super flat just the day before?

I didn't believe this, so I had Richard take the tire into yet another tire shop. They ran the same battery of tests. They also couldn't detect a leak.

The two places recommended that we watch the tire for a day or two to determine where the leak may be coming from.

It's been almost a week now, and we are not detecting any leaks in the tire. The tire looks perfect. Go figure!

I guess that the adversary needs to come up with more than a flat tire to keep us from going to church!

Sunday Morning Flat

Yesterday, we noticed that my tire was flat according to my car's sensor system.

We didn't notice any flat tires; however, we went to the local gas station anyway to fill up my tires.

The sensor light went off. Yippee!

We celebrated too soon! This morning, Richard went into the garage for I don't know what, and he noticed that the tire was not just a little flat, it was so low in air that the rim touched the garage floor. Oops!

I strongly feel that this is the adversary's way of trying to hinder our eternal progression. He did want us to go visiting teaching and home teaching this morning, let alone go to church.

But staying true to what we believe... Richard changed the tire, and I was off to go visiting teaching with Addison. And... we were still able to attend our church meetings.

Yee Haw!

What Do People Really Think?

As a teacher, I like to tell my students that I am seventy seven years old. Wow! Even my seven year old daughter believes this. Scary, huh? What makes it even funnier is that my ten year old son plays along with it all.

Anyway... a few weeks ago, my daughter got a new girl in her class. Being that her mother is a teacher just next door to her classroom, she was at school early that day. So, being the social butterfly she is, she introduced herself to the new girl and her mom.

Addison: My mom is seventy seven years old.

Mom: Really?

Addison: And my dad has a pacemaker.

I wonder what that poor mother was thinking. Was she thinking that Addison was making this story up? Does Addison live with her grandparents? Or was she thinking that Addison's parents were crazy to have children at such an old age?

I wonder... What do people really think?
