February 22 and 23rd, 2008

Friday 22nd~~~~~This morning there was a small earthquake. Sharon was buying some makeup and the girls and Sharon felt it. Sharon said she thought someone ran into the building. It was 4 points, but Kent sitting there waiting for Sharon never felt a thing. They said there was another one a few days ago that we never felt. Today our truck got backed into in the parking lot. It was hit by one of our good friends we have here. It did very little damage to our truck, (just the tail light cracked) but Howie's truck has duel tires and he tore the whole fender off his. The fiber glass just shattered on it and it is one big piece to replace. We felt so sorry for him, as his truck has been in repair so much and he just got it all running good. That is why we didn't get duelies for our truck. We see so many of them with the rear fenders all torn up. We will fix it at home, and they will pay us for it.
Saturday 23rd~~~~ Kent was all excited today because he and our neighbor Howie are taking Howie's boat out and put it in the marina for a test run. Howie just bought the boat and he has never docked one or loaded one on the trailer. Kent just loves boats, so we are staying one extra day so Kent can go play with Howie and his boat!! Sharon stayed home and played house, making a macaroni salad, a loaf of wheat bread, a pan of Carmel cinnamon rolls and some lemon squares. She misses her baking so much, so this is a good place to do it, as we have lots of neighbors who would gladly help eat some. Cindy (Howie's wife) came over and visited with Sharon while the guys were gone and watched her bake. Sharon got a call that a friend of the girls at the shop had died suddenly. It would be nice to be home at times like this, so Sharon could go and help out at the shop for the girls. We never know when the Lord will call us home, so we must enjoy life each and everyday and always treat it as it might be our last.
