The Snow Bunnies are back home

Joe and the girls got home Saturday evening late. They left Colorado Friday afternoon and drove to somewhere in Kansas. They slept late and got up to come home on Saturday but had car trouble outside of Salina. The fuel pump went out in the Yukon and they had to call AAA to tow them into town and take them to a service place. They were extremely lucky for several reasons: 1) it didn't happen the night before out on a desolate part of the highway in Kansas where it started snowing, 2) they were close to a semi-largely populated area where there was service, 3) the garage they were taken to was AAA affiliated and were very nice. They even took the girls and Joe to a local shopping mall and dropped them off (for 4 hours) while they fixed the car and then went and picked them up and brought them back. 4) the workers at the garage voluntarily stayed late that day to work on the car (they normally left at 2 PM). What should have been a 5-hour drive home from Kansas that day turned into about 9 hours. But they arrived unscathed and with their nails done! They had to do something to burn up time while in the mall, right? Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to post from their trip. Joe said the girls reluctantly let him get 1 or 2 pictures while they were gone.

Glad they made it home safely. We all have AAA except for Andy. Would love to see some pictures of their trip. Hope y'all have a nice New Year! :-)
Love, Merry
