Helping with car repairs

I tried to crank my car yesterday and nothing would happen . . . so Emily and I were confined to the house today until Joe could get a new battery and replace the battery cable (since the one I had broke off after being so corroded). It's so nice having a husband who knows how to make car repairs!!! We are back and running, but my gas light came on and all the gas stations are out of gas : ( We drove around a little tonight to try to find some. When we pulled up to the station, we got 1.5 gallons into the tank and then everything shut down. The owner came out to tell everyone he was officially out of gas. So looks like Emily and I will continue to stay close to the house until we know we can get gas again . . . all of the problems we are having with the economy and gas shortages gets me a little freaked out from time to time . . . but we are still such a blessed nation.

Here's some pics of Emily helping Joe out with the car. She had to have her own glove to help!
