Mm hmm. I'm pretty good with small engines, mm hmm.
Anyone remember the movie that I'm getting the title of this entry from? It won an Oscar... Anyway, here is us working on the pump...
"Daddy, Pop, can I help you with that dam pump?"
"OK, here's the 15mm socket and a couple of flat screwdrivers."
"No, no, no... daddy... listen. Even though you are tanned and muscular, you're getting it wrong.
Here, give me that screwdriver.
See how you're coming straight down? Uh huh, well - hey, are you laughing at me? Well, anyway, oh never mind, just give it to me..."
"See, now, watch me. If you come in on the angle, like this, then, you'll find it works - hey, are you looking away? Look at me when I'm explaining things to you!"
Alas, you know if you read Shana's recent post that the dam pump is thoroughly broken, despite Keith's, mine and Jacinta's surgical precision...
Jess was, sincerely, very helpful when we did this, handing us tools; sometimes it was the right tool!

loll, jess is the coolest!!!! omgoodness, we just had youth Sunday Today! It was soooo much fun. At least, I had fun. I voulnteered to help with reading wayy too many things though, so I was scared, but I think it went okay. And we sang JESUS WAS A MAN! I was sooooo happy! I didn't know we were gonna sing it as the postlude, until we got to and I freaked out cause I was so happy we were singin it! It wasn't the same without you though!
:D
They were AWESOME, the youth I mean... Great message and music. Lots of kids. And it made me miss you, too. You'd have been VERY proud of them and their teachers!
And the Mexico Mission Team was commissioned.
I love the pictures...glad you found the duct tape! So...are you calling Jess my nickname now??
And...when is the pump going to be fixed??
L,
D.
The pump is beyond fixing! It's a question of replacement. When's Mexico, next week? WHat's your blog for that again?

I could fix it. I am so handy.
