visits

Thursday we left right after M and W went to school, and drove down to see Emily and her kids, who are staying w/Mom and Dad. I got to sit and visit, and H got to play with L, and it was good.

Friday Jared canned a bunch of peaches [his dad brought a huge box of them over to our house- thanks!]. I wasn't any help with them, since standing is bad and sitting on a hard bench is almost as bad. So I went down to see Joy's soccer game. Sadly, her team lost, but Joy played well! She had some awesome saves, and one cool block on a goal attempt- Go Joy!!

And I got a bit of excitement on the way home- one of the tires on the mazda shredded! It was making a weird bumping sound, so I slowed down, luckily, and was able to stop when small tire pieces began to fly up from the front of the car LOL. And a Highway Patrol car pulled up behind me when I stopped, and the officer changed the tire for me [hooray for HP ;)]. Of course, the spare tire was low on air [recommended 60psi and had 15psi], but after I stopped and filled it up, I made it home with no other incidents. Now I'm just hoping that I'll be able to stop in at the crop that was planned today!
