Beth and I went to see "War of the Worlds" a week ago today. Wow. I haven't been that creeped out by a movie in a long time. It was certainly a spectacle. We both were all jittery afterwards. Last Saturday 7/2 we went geocaching again, but only got two before we came back to the van to find a dead battery. Again. Not the first time this has happened, or the second, or the third...I guess it's time to get a new one. Fortunately, the first person to come by on a very rural country road stopped and gave us a jump. On the 4th, we went caching again, this time without incident. After we were done we went to Fort Wayne to shop at Jefferson Pointe and ate at Chili's, which was something to be endured because both kids wanted to go home. Loudly.
Last Tuesday my church softball game in progress was called because of the weather. It was partly cloudy at the time. However, someone had reported a funnel cloud in Mentone and Silver Lake (both at least 15 miles away). We all wondered if maybe Bubba had too many Blue Ribbons and fell off his porch, causing him to see things?
The other day Alex's friend Carson was discovered to have a tumor in his abdomen. Today it was confirmed to be malignant. He will have surgery Tuesday and will have some sort of chemotherapy following. How...why...does a 2-year-old get cancer??
