Sunday before church we loaded the car and the truck so we
could head out right after church. I had lunch packed so the kids could eat in
the car. We went to church, came home to change our clothes and headed out the
door on our way to Addy’s. Dean was right behind us with a crew of guys headed
to Nevada to brand. We hit treasurton and as I turned around to give Josie a
sandwich I lost control and wrecked into a fence. Because the ground was so wet
from the rain it caused us to slide instead of roll. It was scary and terrible;
I’m really grateful we were protected because it could have been a lot worse if
we had rolled. Dean came a few minutes later and drove the car up and down the
road he said it was fine to drive and that I should keep going to Utah. I
waited for the cops and got an accident report. In sardine canyon I blew a
tire. When I called Dean for help he said he was on the side of the road fixing
his own blown tire. I called to cops to come help me, meanwhile two good
Samaritans stopped to help. I took a lot of you tube videos and three guys to
finally get it fixed. I called Dean to tell him I was on my way and he was
again fixing a second blown tire on his trailer. We agreed not to travel on
Sunday again.
I stayed the night at my moms. I made all the arrangements
to take it to a repair shop the next day and get a rental car. The next morning
I dropped off my car and enterprise came to pick me up. I put a large dent in
the side of their brand new rental van with the bed frame I was taking to Addy.
Next I walk in the rental car office and they tell me that they can’t rent a
car to me because my drivers’ license was expired. They drove me back to my
moms and I borrowed my dad’s truck. When I finally got to Addys I found that
the bed I had come all the way to deliver was in reality two headboards instead
of a head and a footboard. And when I called to tell Dean that bad news he told
me that all of his horses ran away with a herd of wild mustangs.
We had a hard time, we felt jinxed but we got over it and
are left feeling very blessed.
