the journey

After busy yet boring couple of weeks off, I am finally in P-Town, woohoo! Here's the story of my many stops. From ND to Columbus to see my sisters: check. From Columbus to Jackson to see the parents: check. From Jackson to Kentucky to see friends: uh oh. There I was, cruising down the road on my way to Kentucky and all of the sudden, my car just quits. No sputtering, no wrenching noises, my car simply turns off, quits working. I guess it had to happen sometime. The bad news, no car of course! The good news, bye-bye oil-burning smoke machine! The even better news, my friend Theresa had a car she didn't need; she got it for free and she passed it on to me for free, oh yes. And this is how much of a close call it was--I bought car insurance as I was leaving town. Seriously, my car was packed, I stopped by the insurance agency, then skipped town. Yikes! But all is well and good now and my new old car brought me safely to Peoria, which is lovely. Hope everyone is having a good transition. Miss you all!
