Another day has passed....I'm trying not to complain too much about the "dark grey" spots on my floor. I still don't like it, but, trying to hold my tongue.

Today was another day of putting out fires....it seems we do this every day lately. Today we were out running errands....and.....we ran out of GAS!!!!! WE WERE SOOOOOOO CLOSE TO THE GAS STATION!!!!!! Starla and Julie, remember where you stayed while down here(Grey Gull)....we'll we ran out of gas in front of that motel. Mark started pushing the jeep, 2 nice guys came over and helped him. We put gas in...then it would NOT start!!! We spent forever trying to get it started. We finally had to admit defeat and call AAA. We were towed 1.3 miles back to the camper. Let it set a while, and it fired up!!!! It was apparently flooded! When it rains it pours. But, while thinking it was something BAD...I called my Mom in Albemarle(3 hours away) to come get me, take me back to Stanly County to get my SUV, the vehicle I can depend on!!!! But, once it started I cancelled that request. I DO plan to bring it back down here on our next trip home! It might be terrible on gas, but it's dependable...the jeep, while much better on gas, makes me nervous! Well, all fires are out for the day, perhaps tomorrow will be Non-eventful!!!! ~;o)

Sweet Dreams!
