First off... my husband's pickup decided to quit in Vermont on our way to NH. We were about 1.5 hours from our destination. So we hung out on the side of the highway. Chris tried to fix what he thought was the problem. Turned out it was something electrical. BUT I got AAA in February this year! Never had it before in my life. My husband is very mechanically inclined but mentioned to me one day that I should get AAA just in case he's not around to help me. Never spoke about it again. It sure did come in handy to tow the truck! We figured we saved about $200.00 in a towing bill. By the time all was said and done and we got to the house, it was late and we were all tired.
Here we are... sitting on the side of 91 in Vermont.
He's NOT happy.
Amelia is enjoying herself though.
The tow truck is here!
The following day, we were getting a basic phone line installed. We were told the work order window was 8 a.m. to Noon when the appointment was set up. No problem. We just hung around and waited and waited and waited and waited. Had lunch. Waited some more. Put Amelia down for her nap and waited. Finally Chris called at 1:30 to find out what's going on. Oh. The work order window was NOT 8 to noon but 8 to 4:00 p.m.! The guy finally showed up at 2:30. Once that was done, we had to go pick up Chris's truck in Vermont and drop off the rental. Another day.... gone.
Playing frisbee to pass the time...
Taking walks down the driveway...
Watching a movie before breakfast is ready....
And just having a good time... (like father, like daughter)
Thursday and Friday were better. We took Amelia out to Clark's Trading Post and we rode the train. Took her out for ice cream. Took her to the nice park in town. We had fun. Weather was chilly in the mornings and evenings. We wore lots of long sleeves and sweatshirts.
But it's over. Amelia is actually headed back to New Hampshire tomorrow with my in-laws for a few days. I'm headed to TX until Monday. My husband is going to be all by himself. What is he going to do? No wife. No daughter. Just him, the cat, 3 goats and 6 pigs. He's going to be in HEAVEN!
Enjoy your day!

Oh, what a story with the truck and then the phone....you're right, sometimes that kind of thing just happens. Uggh. As for your husband, he'll be in heaven for a day...or 2 tops, then he'll miss everybody or at least that is what my husband says. LOL. Have fun on your trip!
ReplyDeleteIt's always an advatage in life to be able to "adapt" to a situation. Glad you had an "otherwise" nice vacation. I like your new background on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love AAA. They will come right out if you lock your keys in the car and open the door for you, which is an invaluable service to me! And you can go to their office and pick up tour books for every state.
ReplyDeleteSuch cute pics of Amelia ... seeing her always makes me smile.
Hope you have fun in TX.
Life is an adventure! Making memories - right!?
ReplyDeleteTake care of you- special lady!
I am laughing out loud here. Poor hubby. Your daughter reminded me of me in my granddad's old Ford pretending to drive. I think I might have run the battery down playing with all those knobs.
ReplyDeleteHave fun when you come to Texas.
