Something Wonderful

Something wonderful happened this week.

It began with a nasty ice storm. It sleeted so hard on Tuesday evening that Sam was awakened at various times during the night. School was cancelled for the rest of the week. Of course, this means karate is cancelled also. We had to shovel heavy ice in frigid temperatures. While shoveling, we noticed that one of the car windows had shattered. We had to make many phone calls to get the repair scheduled. The repair place cancelled at the last minute, leaving mom and the boys unable to take the car to Virginia Beach. The best remaining option was to meet for lunch and swap vehicles, so dad could work on clearing out the shards of the broken window and patch it until such time that we can re-schedule the repair.

So we all met for lunch to swap vehicles, and had a wonderful family lunch together. I am overjoyed that a broken window gave us an unscheduled opportunity for a great lunch together.
