A visit to Ivy and Joseph

About a month or so ago, Aaron saw a small tractor for sale on craigslist that he was really excited about, however it was over by Portland somewhere. So Aaron called Ivy and asked if she'd be willing to go and look at it. She and Joseph went and looked at it and then picked it up for us in his truck. Aaron was waiting for me to have the baby before he left town to go pick it up. Well yesterday was his first free weekend, so he and Samuel took off at 8am. I talked to him at around 4pm and he was just getting ready to leave, although Ivy had told them that they should spend the night. Before he left, he asked Joseph where a good gas station was. Joseph directed him to one that was about 20 cents cheaper than all the other gas stations. Aaron filled up both tanks and then took off. As he was climbing up the on ramp to the freeway, his truck choked and died. Aaron called dad who told him that his truck got free towing, then called a tow truck to take him back to Ivy and Joseph's house. Next he called Joseph and asked Joseph if he'd ever had trouble with the gas from that particular gas station. Joseph said that he doesn't always gas up there, because he usually can get better gas mileage if he gases up somewhere else. Now I wonder why this gas station was 20 cents less than everywhere else...go figure! So Aaron spent last night and today trying to fix his truck and get back home. Samuel has had his own fun. He woke up this morning with a headache and went back to bed. When he woke up he was feeling fine and ate. After a while, Ivy called Aaron, who was gone to the store, and told him that Samuel just threw up. Poor Samuel. POOR IVY!!

So let this be a lesson to you all. If Ivy asks you to spend the night, you either need to accept the offer, or ignore the advice as to where to gas up!! Just joking! Ivy I really appreciate you taking care of my boys! Thank you so much.
