WE ARE BLESSED

Hello, wasn't gona blog tonight, feel yucky, but had to tell you how our day went! We were up and out the door by 7:30am, amazing for me! Headed out to Jacks muffler shop. Got the GPS going and it took us no time to get there. Nobody there, so we waited, 5min.,10min, finally at 8:15 a car drives up, and a guy has a hard time getting out, we are thinking maybe he had a stroke or some kind of illness. Bill heads in with the manifold, only to come out later , NOT smiling :), puts the part in the car, gets in and says,"that guy is so high he could hardly focus much less fix anything, and he was a bit rude!" NOW what do we do? Go EAT! Had a fabulous breakfast at a Marie Callendars, that cleared our heads and got us in a better mood,then headed back to B&BCoach. Went in, talked to the owner, he was throwing a piece of pipe on his metal pile, and guess what was there?, yep it was a manifold that was exactly what we needed to fix Whody! Hallelujah!! We only paid $40., but now we needed to find a clamp to fit. The guy told us where he thought the parts place was, but thought the name had been changed, spent over an hour looking for the place, Bill even stopped 2 or 3 times to ask and NO ONE had even heard of it.(at least he asked, he is a man you know), finally he spied it, WHEW, got it and headed home. By the time I had lunch ready Whody was ready to roll, she sounded really good too! Doggone it, rent was already paid, so we weren't leavin'!
Tomorrow we head for Bullhead,Arizona to spend a few days, then possibly to Flagstaf to park Whody and drive to the Grand Canyon and to any other thing that we can see! Can't wait!
Did a load of laundry in a smelly laundry room, had to, out of underwear, and will be packed and ready to go as early as possible in the morning! Come on along, hopefully it will be a little more exciting! See ya, Smiles, Arlette & Bill too
