things ....

     Yesterday, while wearing one of his full impy smirks, Brent told me that from now on when somebody asks him what's been going on in his life, he is just going to tell them to go read his mom's blog. 
     Later he recommended to his brothers that they do likewise.
     I get no respect.  o;-p

      I made a mistake on the posting I did about our backyard.... we had spent Memorial Weekend working on it, not the 4th of July weekend. Sorry!

      I had forgotten one incident that happened last Sunday and thus had omitted it from the posting about our weekend.
      Sunday afternoon after everybody had arrived home from church (and some from their stop at Sam's Club) , we were all in the living room when there is this loud noise out front and Boo started doing some serious barking. We thought that it had sounded like there had been a trailer with nothing on it being pulled up the street by some vehicle. You know how they hit any little bump and make such a clatter. So we were telling Boo it was okay, but he would not be convinced. grumble, grumble.  Turned out that we should have payed attention to what Boo was trying to tell us!!! As we went out to load up to head to Brian's folks, it was discovered that somebody had hit the rear view mirror on the drivers door of Brandon's suburban. Much more grumble grumble!!!!!!!!!  The thing was, at the time, there wasn't even anybody else parked straight across the street, so there was way more than ample room to get by!!!
      The police were called, we waited, the officer made an incident report. Yesterday we learned that since the incident was caused by another vehicle, it's considered a collision, and thus not covered by PLPD with comp insurance. The grumbling continued.

      Yesterday Brent went to the bank. He came back out to find that a good sized hole had broke free in the bottom of his gas tank, thus emptying his half tank of gas all over the parking lot.
      He is less than happy that the song  o/~ "If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" o/~  seems to have chosen him as it's current poster child!
