We had a rough day! These pictures were not taken today, but they fit the day's circumstances perfectly. We left early this morning to visit my parents for a few days before traveling to spend Thanksgiving with Mark's family. The kids were happy and all was well until, 70 miles out of town our truck broke down. Thank heavens we have roadside assitance and our insurance company was awesome! They called a tow company and within 1 hour they towed us to their shop. The fuel pump had gone out, and because we were in such a small town they didn't have the part we needed, so we called a friend to come get us. 8.5 hours later we ended up right back where we started. While we were waiting for the diagnostic test on the truck we went to a cafe to eat. We had sandwiches and soup for lunch then they gave us fortune cookies. I've never been given a fortune cookie at a place that wasn't chinese, so I was a little surprised, but I loved what the fortunes said...
~ "You will have much to be thankful for in the coming year." Like a second vehicle, good friends, and excellent auto insurance.
~ "Use your abilities at this time to stay focused on your goal. You will succeed." The kids were angels, and everyone (the mechanics, waitress, and gas station attendant where we hung out for 2.5 hours) was so nice and helpful.
~ "An unexpected event will soon make your life more exciting." I don't think I would call our vehicle breaking down in the middle of nowhere exciting, but it was definately unexpected.
~ "Treat yourself to a special time this coming weekend." Celebrating holidays with loved ones.
~ "Keep up the good work. You will soon be rewarded." It's nice to be home.
So tomorrow we will try it again! Wish us good luck!
