When it rains, it pours...



Hi All! It's been awhile and boy, have we been busy! Things around the Benson house have been buzzin'. The last month we have had things go wrong: dishwasher troubles, water softener repair, clothes washer died, car accident, etc. etc. etc. So, we have gotten the water softener fixed, bought a new washer AND dryer, and are buying a new car to replace our wrecked van. [poor Olivia :( ]


I LOVE my new Honda Fit, "Belle!" And now we will be getting another Honda Fit (red), "Rudy!" This came about because of a car accident Mike had on Friday, Oct. 3. Another car ran a red light and BOOM! Thankfully, everyone involved is ok.


It was homecoming weekend for Mayo High School (Jim) this weekend, also. He had a friend come up from Iowa that he had met at camp. Candace is a lovely young lady. We were delighted to have her stay with us. It was VERY cold at the football game and, unfortunately, they lost. I heard the dance was great!
