The truck has been in the shop all week and Louis Dean has been so anxious about it!
That's probably NOT the reason he was up in the middle of the night scarfing up some Blue Bell Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream. No, that's just what he does!
And who am I to judge?
He really and truly doesn't go off the deep end with it.
At least I don't think he does!
We have been having a quiet time this February week.
Since the truck has been in the shop we have been home doing what we can.
He has been playing music and 'organizing' his music room.
That means he's moving things from one place to another and then back again.
I've been reading and watching movies ....
What a testimony Francine Rivers has and she has written so many great books since she accepted the Lord as her Savior. ALL of her books are excellent!
And the Crickets Dance and Anne With an E and a few others.....I'm loving the firestick Summer gave me and the links that she and Amber have provided. At long last I have finally figured out how to use this thanks to Jesse programming Internet extenders for me that reach out to the den.
I had a video appointment with my primary care doctor on Thursday and she asked me how I was doing with taking care of myself as I am now caretaker of my husband.
I am continuing my Zoloft medication for now,
I think it is helping me stay 'level' and that's a good thing.
I have a great support system with friends and family as well as my art, sewing, prayer time and projects. I am never bored and neither is Louis Dean.
There is always something to do from routine housework to decorating to repairs and on and on.
I have to say that the truck has been in the shop for a week and Louis Dean has missed it terribly!
Turns out there was a total of FOUR leaks!
It is an older truck - a 2001 Dodge Diesel Ram 3500 bought in 2000 right after his beloved Ellen died and he has put over 300,00 miles on it.
It has every right to need a little repair.
Charles at Midas Muffler has been such a blessing to us!
It's been a complicated repair and a couple of parts have been hard to find but he did it and without it costing us a fortune!!
Louis Dean was so happy to go up there this afternoon and pick his truck up!
What a blessing to have a good honest mechanic!
I owe him a really good cake or a big batch of cookies!
He asked us to bring the truck back in a couple of weeks so he can check for leaks -
and I will for sure be taking him some goodies.
Praising God for leading us to Midas Muffler!
Who knew they did so much more than mere mufflers??
Now we can go down to the ranch for a few days! We meant to be there much earlier this month!
God's timing is always perfect!
I'm so excited to get down there....Sherry and I plan to check on our bees this Sunday!
AND we will be there for the bee meeting on Tuesday.
It's a pot luck dinner and will be so much fun!
Tonight I baked some cookies and pretty much finished the quilt top for my Kansas City grand niece.
I just have the border to sew and maybe a few more embellishments.
That fusible batting apparently doesn't work with denim - but I did learn the value of pressing the quilt top /batting/backing together - so still a win! WIN!!
