More happenings

May 17, it was still to muddy to do any logging so the men took Dewayne Yoders flat bed trailer home that he so kindly had let us use to move down here to Seymour Mo. and refused to take any pay for the usa of it.Bless his heart.
Honey buns passed a dealers place on the way home and stoped in to see what he has to say about this truck part being on backorder for so long. and he said thers no reason for it and he could do it tomorow in one hours time, if he can bring it in then, so he did,and they took it right in and checked it all out took thing apart and there they had to stop and wait on the insurance company to give them the go ahead, but thankfully they gave Honey buns a rental truck to come home with, took two days for them to fix it.
So finaly May 20,the truck came back home ready to go. OR so we thought, but the auto body shop guy called and said as he went over the paper work and what not he sees that also need to put in a new drive shaft as it looks bad , bring it in on Monday, so away we go again but this time they were able to get right with it. by now we are wondering will we ever get back on our feet .But by the 27th he had four load taken in to the mill,
 And then it Happened , his chain saw got wedged in so tight he could'nt get it out and the tree twisted,and he saw he'd better get himself out of the way or it'll crash down on him so he left the chain saw and got himself out of the way.and the tree came crashing down right on top of the chain saw.but who cares about a broken chain saw as long as Daddy is ok. now he had to go buy another one and there goes most of his long awaited pay check. groan!
But thankfully the next day, which was Friday, they had a load of stave logs to take to a diff. mill where they pay very well on exported lumber.he was very pleased with his big pay check and called home to tell me about it.SMILES things look good again.Thank you Lord things were taken care of just in time. why do we worry so?
And then it happened again, but more nerve wrecking then ever Sonny boy was skidding logs and all of a sudden the tractor started rolling backwards down the hill, and he could'nt think fast enough,and smashed in only one brake instead of both. which caused the tractor to do some strange things, Honey buns was just sure the thing is going to roll over and then Ker-Bang whammed right into the truck ,scotted the truck about a whole foot, and our oldest son was on the other side of the truck looking in the windows to see why the dome light are still on. all of a sudden he heard a scream and a bang and he went flying backwards a foot in the air and sat down hard.the impact was so great.
They were all in a shaking condition by now. with huge eyes, and dropped jaws. can you imagin seeing such a fright
Honey buns calls home, and say well we just had another accident. after I hear all about it I'm wondering is everybody ok? yes, nobodys hurt we are fine I just have to see if I can drive the truck yet.
I said, oh! please won't you just all come home?
Yes, we are planning to, so they all came home, once again we took the truck to the body shop.
OH, THANK YOU LORD FOR PROTECTING MY BOYS.
