More depressing news!

I bet you can all guess it has to do with one of our vehicles. AGAIN!!! If so, you'd be right! On Friday, Matthew was driving the 4-Runner home from work and had a tire blowout on the freeway!! We were blessed in the fact that no one was hurt. He got to the side safely. FYI if you ever breakdown on the side of the freeway you only have 3 hours after the emergency response car thing (whatever is it) comes and puts an orange check-mark on your window. How inconvenient that this puts us in rush-hour traffic. No way we were going to risk our lives trying to change a tire. Actually we realized it doesn't even have a spare. We ended up having it towed($65) and fixed on Sat. Sounds simple right???? Not in our case. They towed it to the wrong place so it didn't get to the correct place until after they closed. We had to take the keys to them on Saturday morning. We gave them the keys at 9:50 and they told us it would take 20 minutes. We decided to have my tire fixed too. It had a slow leak and we didn't want any more problems. Well at 11:32 we got our keys back!!! We didn't have to pay. GOOD THING!!! I would have caused problems had they asked for money!!! Well, we are starting a new week. Maybe I will have good news on my next post. At least we are safe and our most recent problems haven't cost as much money.
