This morning Emma and Darcy were able to come to the farm, the car is FIXED! What a privilege to be able to drive my own car again. The repair is actually kind of funny. Mark bought a bunch of bungee cords to bungee the loose parts together. I felt that duct tape would be a better look driving down the highway except the only duct tape on hand was bright blue and our car is gray. Before we had a chance to buy gray duct tape, Gary Byerline called to say he was back in town and would be glad to take a look at the car. He sewed all the parts together with some of those little plastic ties then took it out for a spin and the sound of thump thump thump was just as bad as before. Back to the shop he starts going over the tires and finds the lug nuts on one of the tires were all loose except one. The guy that took the snow tires off and put on the regular tires got interrupted and forgot he hadn't finished the job. The best part about all of this is the car got sewn back together and I don't have to drive a car all bungee corded together to church. I thought that might look kind of funny. Gary gave us a bill for $7.80. Mark paid that plus a pretty good tip!
At the farm the mares were all in the new pasture and it looks wonderful. Cindy is still in and covered. It has been 19 days for Lily today and she was not interested meaning she is probably pregnant. I hate to waste money on an ultrasound for her, she is so very fertile.
We had a very uplifting walk today.
