Excitement at our house!

Becky and I were getting ready to go for a walk tonight, when a lady came running up to us and said, Emergency! Can I use your phone, my car is smoking. I got Becky out of the stroller and went in to get a phone. Something fell out of the bottom of the car and was on fire. Soon, the smoke got worse and started smelling and rolling out. We called 911 and had the fire department come. They got there just as it really started to be on fire. The lady said she was on her way home when she heard a "pop" and turned the corner. Her car just died in the middle of our street. She told us her husband had bought the car for $300, and she had just paid for the registration at 3:00 today! I think it's a goner! None of us had ever seen a car on fire before. Thank goodness the firemen got here before it blew up!!!







Becky was just having fun sitting playing in the dirt while we waited with the lady until her husband arrived. Thought she was being cute, so had to snap a picture!
