Crop for Cancer Fundraiser

I attended the Crop for the Cancer Fundraiser on Saturday.  My friend Lisa came with me.  We had a great time and got lots of scrapbooking pages done which is very unusual for us. We tend to get a little distracted at these events.  However, we were very focused on getting our pages completed that day. 

It was a little iffy if we were going to get there at all though.  On our way to New Minus I noticed there was a  noise coming from the back of the car.  I thought it was my muffler combined with the containers full of markers and brads and buttons that was making all the noise.  Well the noise got louder and louder so I pulled over I checked to make sure we didn't have a flat tire.  I walk around the car and no flat tire.  Get back in the car and continue on.  The noise is a little louder (if that was at all possible) so we pull over and proceed to call our husband for advice on what it could be.  So Lisa's on the phone with her husband and I'm on the phone with David and they each give their suggestions as to what it could be.  They say it could be the brakes, or muffler or the air filter.

  So Lisa and I decide to drive a little further as were between Berwich and Coldbrook.  I'm driving the car about 100km/h and now the back end of the car begins to wobble and shake.  I announce I'm pulling over now and not going any further.  Lisa and I sit on the side of the highway until Dave comes with his tools.  He jacks the car up and then proceeds so grumble and growl at us for having almost killed ourselves because the tire was about to fall off the car.  He could actually shake the tire back and forth to the point that I'm surprised it was still on the car.  So when Lisa and I see how serious our situation could have been we proceed to laugh hysterically which makes Dave even more angry.  He say "I'm glad you can laugh at this.  You could have killed your selves".  So we laugh even more.  I took pictures of the Dave changing my tire.



This is Dave taking the tire off.  You can't see  it but he's not happy at all.



This is Dave showing us how much damage I did to the rim.  This is just about the time when he started growling at us for laughing.  He really couldn't see the humour in any of this.



So after Dave fixed the tire I insisted on taking Dave's truck the rest of the way.  He wanted me to take my car.  He said I'd be okay taking my car I'd just have to stop every 20km to tighten the nuts on the tire.  Ohhh no......I wasn't doing any of that so I took his truck.  Ha Ha.

We got to the crop and received these lovely gift bags from the Canadian Cancer Society.  There was loads of snacks throughout the day and beautiful prizes.  It really was a lovely day.  I did a workshop and made the Bunny Cards with the Ladies.  I think they liked it.

Here's the pages I finished Saturday.



Dave's as much a kid at heart as the girls and Ethan are.
