"Handyman Hero"


We arrive home from our trip to UT.... here is the scene....

Sarah, Mary and RyanHey dad, the front tire looks low, AGAIN.... lets pump it up.

Ray: No, it is fine.


Sarah:  Well, could you at least take the truck to work tommorrow so the  the kids don't have a flat tire tomorrow?

Ray:  Sarah, we have driven all over Utah and Arizona with that tire....  it is fine.


30 minutes later.....Ray leaves for fireside....and immediately returns.

Sarah and Ryan:  What's wrong?

Ray:  The tire is totally flat, I don't know what happened.  I am going to the fireside, you and Ryan stay home and change the tire....

Ryan and I stay home,  change my first tire -- or should I say, I hold the flashlight while Ryan changes the tire.  I am glad Ryan is so strong.... he is my "handyman hero"!

And yes, we are glad we didn't have to change the tire on the side of the snowy roads we drove home in today.

Oh my! Sounds like some of our conversations around our house. We question things, only to get told that it will be okay and then sure enough, the thing we questioned happens. LOL! :) It keeps life interesting.
