The Power of Suggestion

While at the family reunion last month, Sandy told Tami about how her washing machine quit on her. After we got home from the reunion, Tami did a few loads of wash, and then our dryer suddenly quit on us. (See previous post). We spent $75 to get a replacement dryer, and it quit two days later! Another $100 later and we've got another second-hand dryer - I hope it stays working!

Shortly after the reunion, Julie wrote in her blog about how her minivan broke down coming home from the reunion. (see this post). Well it wasn't long after that that a nice sized buck with a full rack did this to my car...

Yes, the insurance totalled it, so we've spent a thousand bucks and got an old beater Kia to replace it.

I know that these things often come in threes, so Maryle, if you've got anything to announce, DON'T TELL US ABOUT IT!

Yikes!! Who got it worse, the deer or the car? Maybe I should post about some random stranger giving us a million dollars. Do you think that the power of suggestion would work that way as well? Oh, and does Maryle have something to announce??? =)

Hahaha, nope nothing to announce, so you're safe from us. Something else has happened that I wouldn't wish on you, so I won't post about it for a while.

Hahaha, no we have nothing to announce. We did have something happen that I wouldn't wish on you, so I won't post about it for a while.
