A WELCOME HOME GIFT


Andrew, the Girls, and I returned home from a week's vacation in Florida, on Sunday, June 22, 2008. This was the sight that awaited
our return in our very own front yard. The video clip below captures our first reaction. My words expressed to Andrew were, "Get me the camera!"

Rubber That Meets
The Road





LARGER THAN LIFE TIRES

GOES WITH EVERYTHING PINK TOILET...SAVES TIME INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO INSIDE TO USE THE RESTROOM FACILITIES...ACCORDING TO OUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET


COMES COMPLETE WITH DEAD FLOWERS...
FLOWERS ARE ALWAYS A NICE TOUCH


SUCH ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN


When Standing Straight UP, This Tire Was Actually Taller Than Andrew!



Yes, I have to admit the GENIUS of the scheme...Paul Valentine, a "former" friend, who lives down the road from us. He had help though, and according to his wife, Cheryll, it wasn't her. Unfortunately she is married to the man and must bear the consequence of his "SINFUL" action. We have heard from a very reliable source and our neighbors that a Mr. John Everett was an accomplice to this heinous crime. His wife, Jennifer, was also involved with the knowledge of this...and merely laughed at the action of it and told a dear neighbor of mine not to do ANYTHING about it.

I am also told that there were several others involved in regards to this being that this Pink Toilet has passed around our church family. I am also aware that a friend, who I thought was our friend, Mrs. Dayna Ice, was very aware of the situation and did nothing to stop it. Hence Forth, I have also been informed that the ICE family has not been "TANKED" yet.

Several of our neighbors at least had the "decency" to welcome us home with questions, wonder, and anxiousness. We put their fears to ease by telling them that the perpetrators who did this would not go unpunished. We have selected a Bible Verse fitting for the Valentine Family:


Leviticus 24:19-20 NASV
If a man injures his neighbor, just as he has done, so it shall be done to him:
fracture for fracture,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth; just as he has injured a man, so it shall be inflicted on him.


AND SO PAYBACK CONTINUES!

I'm not sure how my name appeared on this blog entry but I will assure you that this person named Dayna Ice did not know anything about this prank or any other prank happening. I did hear of it afterwards through a person named APRIL MENKING. Who with a smiling face said, "Did you hear what happened at the Shumaker house?" Of which I knew nothing about. Beforehand I knew nothing of this taking place. Henceforth, you can remove the thought of placing anything in my yard b/c I had NOTHING to do with this BEFORE, DURING, or AFTER! :)

Yours truly.

First, I have to say that I did not put those tires in your yard, but I really think you should have left them. I thought it looked great. As far as Dayna Ice, I've always thought there was something fishy about her and Ben. I wouldn't be surprised if she was deeply involved in this. Even though I didn't put the tires in the yard, I am certainly glad this led to time of fellowship with your neighbors and enhanced the beauty of your home. By the way, don't even think of messing w/me. I think I am still behind in this little game that you started. Anyway, even though I didn't put these tires in your yard, out of the deep abiding love I have in my heart for you I would be willing to have it arranged to pick up these tires for your for a nominal fee. However, I would think that with such priceless yard art and lawn furniture you would want to keep it. Well, talk with ya later.

I think it was Colonel Mustard in the Drawing Room with the Candlestick.

Cracking up!!! Don't worry; I didn't have anything to do with it, of course. The flowers were a nice touch, I think :)
