I guess every vacation I have ever taken has had some drama. Yesterday we got the drama done, I HOPE.
Lesleigh took Alesia to run some errands mid day. I took Michael to the swimming pool and we stayed in the pool a long time and played. I got out to go lie on a lounge chair and Michael hollered that Granny was signaling me from the balcony. I ran upstairs in a dripping wet bathing suit and she said Les and Alesia were broken down. I called Les' cell phone. They were in the parking lot of a convenience store, fortunately.
I insisted Lesleigh drive my car because I just had it serviced. I had to call a tow truck, last night, and I got Les, Alesia and the groceries home, finally. I talked to the repair shop this morning. I need a new alternator and some air conditioner thingy and it's $800. YIKES. Les asked me if I was going to get different estimates. I am on vacation. I can't do that. I just need to get the car fixed so she can drive it back to Atlanta.
My car is 10 years old, but it's never given me any major problems. I was told by the Mazcare guys it should last another 100,000 miles. I plan to drive it until it falls apart. I can't afford another car payment.
We had lunch today at the marina at Sea Pines, which was fun, seeing all the boats, but HOT. We were sweating up a storm. Then when I pulled the car in front so the kids could help Mother get in, some guy behind me kept beeping and making rude gestures. He wouldn't go around. Young punk. Then he parked in a handicapped space! I should've given him the finger, but Mother would've been horrified.
I plan to do NOTHING tomorrow except eat up the leftover food in the condo and lounge around. That's the plan, anyway...
I will post photos when I get home on Sunday.
Y'all stay cool....
