Tim A. Cummins @ 10:18 pm  

Ashley and I enjoyed briefing our team from McDonough, GA this morning!

Then to the Buford Highway Farmers Market. FUN!

Best part of the day was working with the team from Foothills Baptist Church in Marble Hill, GA! Even though the weather was rainy and actually cool, we still had kids show up.

Ash and I stopped at Lowes to pick up a part for the sink near my office. Someone broke the other one. Still not sure how that’s even possible!

On the way home, Ashley’s rear tire on her Mustang picked up a nail.

Within ten minutes, there was hardly any air in the tire. Going around a corner, she applied the brakes and on the rain soaked highway her car started to fishtail out of control. She hit the brakes harder which sent her slamming into the guard rail. WOW!

She called me pretty shaken up, but was unharmed. Thank you JESUS! If she would have lost control of the car on the main highway it could have been really bad.

In the hour we waited for the tow truck we saw at LEAST ten wrecks of cars going around that same corner. Unbelievable. One of the cars actually slid out of control and went up into the median.

it was sad to see our “Little Red Pony” get towed off. But Ashley is Ok and really that’s all that matters. She may be sore in the morning from the air bags that hit her face. We’ll see. Please pray for her!

We planned on having the car towed to a repair shop, but they were all closed. So we took it to her house in Clarkston instead. Hopefully, we’ll get an estimate on how much to fix and it won’t be TOO expensive. The guy that towed it said that the frame wasn’t bent but the hood and both side panels will have to be replaced.

Hard ending to a good day.

Admin duties now.

Duh.
