It's a happy day and I thank my God for the weather. It's a happy day and things are gonna get better. This little chorus was going through my mind while I was sitting on the side of the road, waiting for a tow truck. I was on the way to Goshen when I noticed my minivan was losing power. I decided to turn around and try to make it home. I never got turned around when the van stopped. I was able to get completely off the road. I called my husband and we decided to get it towed in to (and by) our mechanic. Now the neat thing was I 15 miles from the shop and within 45 min of pulling off the road the van was loaded and ready to head for the shop. They took the girls and I home then went to check out the van. I decided I was not going to let it get me down, no one was injured and there was no accident. The girls wanted to play outside so I mowed the lawn while they played. I tilled some of the garden and decided it was to windy to plant. I was only done mowing about 30 min when they called and said the van was done. The fuel pump, belt, and tensioner was the problem. 4 hours after it was broke down we were able to pick it up again. I was expecting to be without a vehicle for at least a few days. They were able to fix itand had all the parts on hand. I felt like God was looking out for the girls and I. I was also glad that the lawn was mowed because we got 2/10" of rain this afternoon.
Tomorrow will consist of the errands I didn't get done today plus more.
