This has been an emotional week for sure. During the week I had some serious talks with several significant people.
Thursday night I had car problems - tail pipe fell off and dragged on the ground. My son, Chris, helped me but it took several hours. But when he drove home to get tools to work on my car he discovered that while in Japan, his garage had been burglarized and lots of his tools were missing. Expensive ones of course. This is the second burglary for him. The other took place at the shop when someone broke into his trailer out back and took very expensive woodwork tools, new saw, etc. So here's Chris, always out doing good things to help people and while he's out, he gets robbed. Pumba died so he didn't even have a dog to bark at intruders!
After Chris got the exhaust system off the car, I took it to my son, Justin's mechanic shop and he repaired it right away. What would I do without these great kids?
Friday we went waterskiing with Nat, Rob and family. We had a really good time until we headed out. Rob's car blew a hose and overheated. We couldn't find an open parts store on Friday evening of a 3 day Labor Day weekend. So, Steve and Rob jimi-rigged things with duct tape and clamps (Walmart came through with that). We still had to baby it to the summit and stop to periodically add water, but we were able to finally get home, though very late.
Saturday was also a nice day. Steve and I shopped together, got some great bargains and accomplished a lot!
Today (Sunday) I was released from my calling as R.S. President. It was time for someone else to have this responsibility and blessing, but it was hard for me to give it up.
