They do not celebrate Mother's Day in Georgia so May 13th was just another Sunday! We were really busy with church, the missionaries skyping their families at our house, a wedding dinner for Alex and Mari and we were leaving for Kazakhstan on Monday. It had been raining and we were rushing home from church to start the pancakes for the missionaries. We had just finished crossing the bridge when a big truck sailed past us. I felt something sprayed on my face and then I looked at E. Reese - he was covered with black spots. We just stood there in unbelief looking at each other and then our clothes. We were covered with a black oily water from the truck. There were no puddles on the road, we had been very careful to avoid those, so we're not quite sure where the stuff came from. We went home as quickly as possible and started washing out our clothes. This was Pres. Reese's only suit - we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to get the oil out! (We had taken his other suit home because he never wore it!) Then the missionaries started showing up - they had to make their own pancakes! We finally got all the clothes in the washer and headed to the dinner with instructions to the missionaries to hang them up as soon as they were done.
Those are great pictures of you. So sad...I'm glad it all came out ok...and the missionaries even remembered to hang up the clothes? Wow!
ReplyDeleteI love your looks! I was so happy to see all the new posts. I miss you two!
ReplyDeleteDon't know why it didn't say that I made that post. But it was me, Rebecca!!!
DeleteP.S. We are having a delightful start to our summer vacation thanks to Marcy and Arron. You raised a wonderful daughter who, in turn, is raising 3 beautiful girls. We love to spend time with their family!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that was really bad. I remember you telling the story but the pictures just put it all into perspective. So glad it all came out!
