Lookin' Up

Lately, I have been a little on edge. I have been grumpy and snappy, but now I feel better.
One reason is that I decided to make the best of being the youth leader at our church rather than looking at the downside of that job. I am afraid we won't get any Catholic Youth, mainly because they've been ignored for so long. We have incredible support from the congregaton of the church though, and maybe we can pull it off!
Another reason for my new attitude is that, like the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, the Drama Teacher never stays more than one year. There is hope for drama next year!
After numerous break-downs in the field, we finally repaired all the equipment that was out of comission. Memorable moments from those:
1. When the grain truck fell off the blocks that was holding it up while I was under it. It scared me half to death!
2. Pulling the combine out of a sinkhole with the tractor. My dad managed to drive straight into the mud.
3. Crawling on the straw walkers and unplugging the beater.
(Too hard to explain on the internet, hard on the knees, though)
4. The icing on the cake? The wheel on the combine fell off in the middle of the field!
Hey Mrs. Wiens! If you were here, leave the price of your mustang!

It's a high end car Ed.
I'd love to get $12,000 for it (yes, that is 3 zeros) but, I'd settle for $10,500 if it was you looking after sweet silver Belinda.
