Trip Home from Saskatoon

Well I left off with a trip to Saskatoon... I went and stayed with some friends...I had a great time.. they are always great hosts!!

Joanne and I spent the day shopping...I haven't had that much fun for a long time...We shopped for clothes.. for myself, Surafel, Elshadai and Jamie....It was great exactly what the doctor ordered!!

Fastword to the end of the shopping trip..I am traveling home to Atwater and about an 1 hour out of Saskatoon..when all of the sudden I couldn't steer the van very good.. So I stopped on the side of the road .. to find that I had a FLAT TIRE on the back of the van on the passenger side. Now what is a girl too do?? The van is loaded to the max with all my purchases... I am in the middle of nowhere and HOURS from home....

SO of course because of the stress in my life and things that have gone on in the past couple days all I can do is sit and have a good cry and wonder why me??

I then decided that wasn't getting me anywhere.. I got up and decided that I was going to change my tire... SO I unloaded the back of my van into the front of my van.... got out the jack.... jacked up the van..got the tire off... ALL THE WHILE I WOULD LIKE TO SAY CARS, TRUCKS, and SEMIS passing ME!!!!
NOT ONE WOULD STOP I was begining to loose faith in good old Saskatchewan people.. Now back to the tire...So I am thinking alright where is the spare??? AHHH right underneath the van....but how do I get it off?? I couldn't figure it out... and then ahhh some good old Saskatchewan boys stopped to help me....They showed me how to get the tire off!!! I would like to thank those two CN workers!!! I have no pictures ....I was to upset and mad to remember to take pictures!!

I was off and driving home to my family!!
