12:45pm inclusio (Ask Michelle Hershberger what an inclusio is)

12:45pm 30 minutes into a 45 minute drive I heard a noise.  Flat tire on van.  15 minutes later we are driving on a donut to complete our trip.  Thankful for safety.  Good doctors visit.  45 minute return trip becomes 60 on donut.  Thankful to arrive home.  Jump in car to go 10 minutes to pick up Emberlynn.  Got her and return trip turns into infinity.  Never made it home.  Belt pulley disintegrated.  Called Suzanne who is walking to pick up Courtney and Alyssa from school.  Tell her that she will need to find another vehicle if she still wants to take Alyssa to piano 25 minutes away.  And could she come pick up Emberlynn and I, 2 minutes from home.  Her first call finds a willing friend and car.  My first call finds a willing friend and a tow.  Now I am at home.  Suzanne is trying to not break down our third car for the day.  The funny thing is... I have been laughing a lot since 12:45pm.

Weather

For those of you out-of-state, the weather here in Nebraska has been absolutely amazing the last several weeks.  It has been dry and mild.  The farmers have had either a great harvest, or have had a great start, well ahead of last year.  We continue to pray for safety as they harvest, and success as they reap, store, dry, sell, transport; and prepare the land for next year.
