Best Case Scenario

If there had to be an accident, Grantley and I witnessed one of the best-case scenarios.  First, we came around a bend in the road (Grantley driving) and had to brake hard for a school bus which was stopped.  We were the second car behind the bus.  No sooner than we were stopped than we heard a screech of tires and a car came hurtling by us to our right.  It was skimming along the grassy bank at the side of the road on two wheels until it hit a fence post and flipped over and around finally landing where the bus had just been and the car in front of us had just turned left.  All the cars around stopped, people got out of their cars.  Someone helped the kid (age 17) break out of his car which had ended up on it's side.  Amazing!  No one was hurt and only one car damaged!  Eventually we gave our names and info to police and went on our way to cello lessons a bit late.

Mother's Day and Mystery Solved

Mom went to church with us this morning  and my family made dinner for us:  Chicken crockpot and a specialty called "Live Chocolate Mousse" and chocolate chip cookies! - Excellent!  

Mystery solved:   At lunch Mom casually asked if I had figured out who it was that put the flowers on my door last Sunday.  I had not and didn't know who it could have possibly been.  "I did it."  she said simply.  It was my own sweet mother who surprised me with those May flowers and kept it a secret all week! 

Friday - 3 kids doing yard work

May Day! Sunday, May 1

May Day!  We came home after a long day:  church, Hunger Banquet, Awards Concert, to find this sweet little bouquet tied to our back door handle.  Now who could have done such a thoughtful deed?  I wonder.  I wonder if it could have been Emma, Aidan, Liam and Quinn.

I've been trying to put a video of this performance on here but can't get it to work.  He played his best yet!

Three friends:  Grantley, Katrina, and Monica.  Both Grantley and Monica were part of the concert.  Then we went to Montezuma's for supper.

Austin's ride met us at Montezuma's in Chambersburg.  Austin's home for a week!
