3 weeks ago there was a little BOMB threat on my father’s property that surrounds our house. The fancy part about this simple little BOMB threat is that they put in on a gas line that runs for miles and miles (by the way my house is about 1/4 mile from the gas line.)... Needless to say East and West 192 was shut down for like 6 hours for about 7 miles or so. Luckily after they evacuated the area for hours they found out that the BOMB is was fake!

Today one of the dump trucks that had just filled a full load of dirt was going down pine grove road...as they do all day long now. A paint van was pulling off Lake Lizzie Drive and didn't stop completely (our house is on the corner of Lake Lizzie and Pine Grove). The dump truck hit the van... not much damage but it caused the dump truck to veer onto our across the street neighbors immaculate yard. When the driver tried to get back on the road the dump truck flipped completely over pouring all it's dirt into our poor neighbors yard and drive way. Ahh, that really stinks. So for the past few hours they have had bobcats and trackers trying to clean all the dirt up. Yes yet again Pine Grove Rd. has been shut down for about 4 hours now!

They had two of the biggest tow trucks I’ve ever seen trying to flip it back over. There is a picture of our poor neighbor's yard filled with dirt!

Nice pictures of the bomb squad...where ever did you get those??!! Was it this action packed before or did we bring in all the excitement? Sorry!
That's stinks, but hey I forgot to wish Austin a happy birthday...Happy Birthday! "Terrible 2's" is no joke! We miss you guys and love you. Good luck with the final stretch-- nice pun, huh? --of pregnancy.
