A Surprise

What wonders medication can do for a person. I am feeling better. More tests on Friday and I will know what is really wrong.

This past Saturday began as most do. Hubby and I were going to travel to Rives Junction, Michgan to pick up 2 girls from the camp our daughter works at and we left mid morning on Saturday. Hubby had a few stops to make along the way so we were taking our time. It began to snow in the afternoon as we were traveling on US 31 on our way to Interstate 69. We made it as far as Shiphewanna, Indiana. There we had a great meal. Snow was still falling so Hubby decided we would stay where we were in a nice motel. Hubby suggested we ride around to see the Christmas lights in town. They were simply beautiful with the snow falling with all the different color lights. Well, here is where a surprise began for my birthday. Hubby said we could stop at the Blue Gate Theater for a piece of pie. We walked around to see the Christmas decorations and then Hubby handed me tickets to see The Collingsworth Family in concert. Mrs. Collingsworth is a great, great piano player. Maybe you have heard them. The evening was one of Christmas songs sung and presented on the piano. This was a surprise of a life time.

Sunday, bright and early we started out for Michigan. All went well until we got within 30 miles of the camp. The car broke down on Inter State 94 just before the exit we take to get gas. We had 2 wonderful angles help push the car to the truck stop. There is a Hardee's in the truck stop, so we got something to drink and Hubby began calling our daughter to tell her about the problem and could she come and get us. This was left as a message on her cell phone. While we were sitting there 2 more angles came along and asked if we were having car problems. They got on their phones to find us help. By the end of an hour they said they would haul our car to Indiana yet Sunday evening. They took us to the camp so we could borrow our daughters car and pick up the 2 girls. We gave the couple a tour of the camp and they were impressed. We have made new friends. The car made it home and has been fixed. The repairs were less than I thought they would be.
