Every Color of the Rainbow: What a Full Day!

Well it started bright and early with a knock on my door at 6:45am, to wake up and go to the yard sale on Saturday. There was lots of people came to look at, and buy our junk! At 9:45 I started to walk to work, for 10:00. I worked for a while, until 12:45, and the store closed for an hour for the P.E.I. Potato Blossom Festival Parade at 1:00! Me and Hannah, who was working with me all day, walked to The Burden's yard for front row seats. We lined up with all the girls clad with plastic bags to fill with candy, hoping we'd get some of the over-flow. 40 minutes of candy-throwin, hand-wavin, bicycle-peddling, Horse-haulin fun ensued, and Hannah and I made our way back to work, following the parade up the street, catching more candy as we went. At shortly before 3:00, I got off work, and put my life in my hands getting picked up by Cousin French and Cousin Luke. We went to the Mill River camp ground for the Sunday School picnic. What a great group of people were there! We played a bunch of games, as usual, and nothing major happened. Chris Becker spoke with the kids. Supper was wonderful. At the very end, the annual water fight broke out, and very few were spared to remain in their dry state. The plan after the picnic, was the traditional beachfront bonfire and swimming out in Hebron. Not until the big, black clouds rolled in, and the rain started falling heavily, did we start to get our hopes down, that there indeed, may not be a bonfire. First year ever. Since I've been living on this earth. Wow. We sat in the house trying to plan other festivities, determined not to let the weather hinder our fun. We were thinking so hard, none of us could come up with anything to do. So we ate a marshmallow. It was to no avail. It eventually stopped raining, and a few die-hard swimmers from Milo called up to see if we were up for some swimming. Ruth was skeptical. Joel was hesitant. Micheal was just standing around. I didn't care. As we readied ourselves for the water, Joel got a call on his cell phone. Now, to protect the little dignity this person has left, I will not mention any names through the next part of this story. All me and Ruth heard was Joel say, "Are you serious?" and "How bad?" before he flew out the door into his car. Me and Ruth ran out after, to try and get informed. No luck. We tried to follow Joel, but we lost him as he left the driveway. Anyways, skipping ahead, someone's car ended up on its roof in the ditch back on the dirt road. Uncle David got Aunt Peggy's tractor out to pull the vehicle out. We all thought it would be toast. That car has 9 lives, let me tell ya! Other than a smashed front window that was damaged when it hit a random T.V. set sitting in the ditch when it rolled (you know your a redneck when...), smashed drivers door window and drivers side mirror, she worked like a charm again! The other amazing thing besides that, is that the 2 people in the car when it crashed were not harmed in the least, despite many ignorant actions on their part. They are lucky to be alive really. God is good, and He's always watching! :)
