Happy Birthday...

.... to my mother-in-law! Yesterday was her birthday. We started the day off sleeping in from the late night before. Then she rode with me to go to Chambersburg to pick up some furniture. On the way there, at the light at the Target in Carlisle- we got rear-ended. A guy behind us in a Ford Ranger had let his foot slip off the brake and RAM! The bumper on the van now has 2 holes in it and the hatch will have to be replaced (can I mention that the van has only been on the road a week here since bringing it back from Germany?). So, we waited awhile for the police to come and when we got that all squared away we headed off to get the furniture.

The people we met there were really nice, and had some old cars they'd bought to redo. One was a Model A and the other was a truck- currently painted orange and green. They loaded up the stuff for us and we went on our way. We stopped at the Sheetz to get a drink, and I'll just mention that something funny happened there when I couldn't get my bottled water opened.

In the evening everyone came over for some carrot cake from Brown's Orchard (yum!) and we had a nice time. Oh yeah, and Wayne blew out all the candles instead of Romona. hahaha very funny stuff.
