Thursday's Disaster

Wednesday Matt came over to help Ryan work on the ditch. They worked a while, and when they took a break Matt called to see if an adviser was available at their college. They told him there was one there, so they got ready and went to get their schedules. He and Ryan got their schedules for the fall semester. I am so excited. Ryan went ahead and spent the night with Matt instead of coming home.

The next morning as I was leaving for work, I hurried and put Zoe outside with food and water. She stays in the basement at night. I noticed that Cruzer had pooped right near her pen, so I got a shovel to move it. Evidently I didn't put the shovel back in the corner as far as I should. After I backed the car out, I shut the door. Or, I should say "tried" to shut the door. It came down on the shovel handle and fell off the hinges. I couldn't believe it!

I didn't know if I should stay home and try to fix it (crazy thinking because there was no way I could fix it) or go to work to make money to buy a new one. I hurried to work, of course. I waited a while and texted Ryan to tell him to go home and fix it. He said he would but they didn't get there till around 4. 

He was shocked it was so bad.




Ryan kept telling me we were going to have to buy a new door. I said just TRY to fix it. 

I got home a little later and tried to help him and Matt put it back together. It was a miracle, I tell ya, but we got it back as good as new (not as good as new, of course). He and Matt did the hard part.



I helped hold it. It was so heavy. Ryan took it apart and we put half on. Then we put the other half and they connected them together. It was a miracle they were able to fix it. Thank God!

Matt and Ryan work a lot together. One day Mary sent me these pics of them working on Matt's truck.





I think they changed his wheel bearings. I really can't remember but I know it was something major. And they got it fixed!! I'm so proud of them.

I am thankful for:
1. Matt and Ryan's friendship and that they can help each other.
2. The garage door is fixed!!!!
3. Ryan and Matt got their schedules for college

Till next time.....

  2. I remember Matt telling me about the garage door! That's a little scary. I'm glad it didn't fall on top of you or your car.

    1. It was scary when it happened, but I was more worried about how we were going to pay for a new garage door. Ha!! Thank God for Matt and Ryan. They saved me a lot of money. Love you!!!!
