Yesterday, April 11, 2009, Brad, Robin and Karl went to Estancia, NM. It is a little town out of by Albuquerque an hour. Robin wanted to go to her soon to be daughter-in-laws bridal shower.
About 20 miles from our destination, our car started to smoke and run awfully. Plus, it was cold and snowy!!! Brad and Karl filled it with water and we hobbled to Leslie's house. When we got there, Brad checked the car more closely and realized we had blown a head gasket.--That's not an easy fix. The bad news we couldn't drive our car home, but the good news is that Dan-Leslie's father had a truck and car dolly he said we could drive home with. What a sweet and wonderful thing for him to do for us.
So I went to the bridal show. I saw an old friend from home that some of you may remember as Gail Adams. She is remarried and living in Mountain Air, right by Estancia. She came to the shower, as she is in the Stokes' ward. It was really nice to see her again. She is as funny as ever. Her personality reminds me of my sister Barbara. She had us rolling on the floor with her funny jokes.
After the shower, we ate a delicious lunch of stew, rolls and cookies that Darla and her daughter Natalie had made, then we towed our car home. Karl is marrying into a really nice family. I feel blessed that he has made such a good choice!
Hey, I didn't know y'all had a blog! But I found you!
