A wild and crazy ride.

Yesterday I received a phone call from my friend telling me that our "adoptive" other son Luke was in the ditch down on the "dreaded" corner-Zingler's corner. I think every town must have one of those on some road somewhere. Some corner where accidents seem to happen. That's what ours is called. Zingler is the name of the family that have owned must of the land surrounding that corner for as long as anyone can remember. My friend said that someone was there with him pulling him out. I called Will to let him know what was going on.

Another friend called Will shortly after that and said that he was still stuck and she didn't know if they would get him out without help. Will and Jake suited up, loaded the truck and headed out. They finally got Luke out and he headed home.

Life went on as usual and so we headed over to the Fischer house for an evening of trying to put together the video presentation for our youth trip to Chicago. We spent a lovely evening there. Finally after plaguing their existence long enough...we headed home.

On the way home we turned one corner and there was a jeep in the ditch....way in the ditch. No one in it, so we headed on. Got to Zingler's corner and there was another car in the ditch this one with a lady in it. We called 911 because the corner was so dangerous and so very slippery that we couldn't stop on that side of the road for safety's sake. We turned around, came back and parked on the other side with flashers going to warn oncoming drivers as Will went to help.

As we were sitting there another truck came by, drove a little farther down the road and flew into the ditch. I called 911 because now we have 2 cars in the ditch. It's getting iffy around there. An officer is on the way.

We finally get headed home and are almost there when we notice another set of headlights aimed for the sky on the side of the road. This was a truck that had driven straight into the ditch. Someone was there with them, so we went on home, glad to arrive home in one piece. It was about midnight and we were all exhausted. We went straight to bed....and that's the story of our wild and crazy ride home.
