Hey, We made it to Flagstaff

Howdy, Got ourselves going, got all our money paid to whoever, and headed for Holbrook, Arizona, got just outside of Williams, actually it was the freeway entrance, yep, and Whody started getting hot,, can you believe that, the doggone little (or should I say BIG)brat! Here she has had all this attention, and now wants more, anyhow, decided to go on, stop at the rest area until she cooled down, and stay at a campground at Flagstaff, a whole 30miles, Whoopi!!!!! Got settled into Greers Pine Shadows, lots of trees & pine cones, but NUTHIN' else! But it is cheap, remember I said we were cheap people? Hooked up, took the car off and were gona head for Home depot, (Dr. Bill thinks he can fix Whody,) and the car wouldn't start, couldn't figure it out until, (LIGHT BULB MOMENT) I forgot to put the car on Accessories, and had left it ON, so the battery was deader than a door nail, THANK YOU ARLETTE, Smart!! No problem says the man of this great expedition, and whips out our battery charger, poof, car starts (my hero) and we are off to Home Depot! Whoo,Hoo! He wasn't even mad, thought it was funny! Whew...Bill picked up some supplies and worked on Whody for a while, but will pick up a small pump tomorrow, and will fix up Whody with a gadget that will spray water on her radiator (WAHOOO) whenever we go up a big hill and she starts to get hot, you know gals sorta like hot flashes & a spray bottle of water? Worked for us, hope it will work for Whody, she is 40 yrs old ya know and stuff happens! But we are still counting our blessings and will head for New Mexico about noon tomorrow, hope to stop & see the spot where a crater fell, and the Petrified forest. Hope springs eternal, right? We aren't like the average bear, we just keep plugging along, it's not time for us to hibernate, just need to get up steam for all the fun, excitement and Joys ahead of us! So keep prayin' and keep readin', there is never a dull moment in the BilLet adventures!
Love to all, your favorite Crazy Couple, Arlette & Bill too, and Sassy, of course!
