Sunday the first of March

Well today was a good day a good time in Church and the kids came over in the afternoon all except my Deb.  I was thinking about Tom and Sue as everybody knows Sue's mom was my fifth grade teacher I really enjoyed the fifth grade because we had half days, the only thing that could make it better would have been if I didn't have to go to school.  Well we were done with college before Tom so when we were in Minnesota we drove up to visit Tom and Sue of course Sue made fun of Sharen because she was pregnant with Sonja with us not realizing that Sue was also pregnant with Abbie.  Anyway when we got there Tom's neighbor was finishing up working on his jeep. It was a world war two vintage jeep and it was in perfect shape, when he was done with a tool he would put it in a felt bag and return it to his tool box.  Tom explained how he had gotten the jeep which was owned by a kid that got in trouble and his dad forced him to sell it.  Toms neighbor bought the jeep for $400 which was a steal.  The jeep was parked outside of Tom and Sue's window so that night Tom and I went out and dumped a quarter of a cup of oil under the jeep and we watched as his neighbor went out in the morning.  When he saw the oil he opened the hood and then got under the jeep and felt the engine but of course was unable to see where the oil came from.  This was an engineering school so that night he put the jeep in another parking place and of course the oil showed up one more time.  Sharen and I had to go home and Tom continued to place oil under the jeep for a few more nights and then it stopped as suddenly as it started we were never sure of the effect on him but we were sure he always had a uncomfortable feeling about his jeep.  In spite of this please keep Tom and Sue in your prayers as he recovers from his Lung transplant and his triple bypass.
 
Thank you for keeping Sharen and myself in your prayers and may God Bless.
