--We have been busy helping my FIL, who had heart surgery. We are very thankful that the surgery went well.
--There is more to our car saga. You may remember that we got a new car last January. After owning it for only a couple of weeks, someone ran into it and totaled it. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it took four months to get a new car and resolve all the paperwork. However, a month ago, the new car started to make a knocking sound, so we took it to the dealer. Thankfully, they heard the sound but couldn't figure out where it was coming from. After a week and consults with Honda headquarters, they still couldn't figure it out. We picked up the car and took it back yesterday when a specialist was flying in to look at it. Unfortunately, he was called away due to an emergency, so we have to take it back again next week.
In the meantime, we got a big crack in our windshield, and the whole windshield has to be replaced. It is an expensive job because there's a camera in it. (These new-fangled cars. 😕) We are very thankful that we have more than one car during these times.

| There are so many interesting things to see at the fair. This was a child's entry. |
I'm sorry you're still going through car pain. A free fair? Sounds really nice.
ReplyDeleteI know you've had your share of car pain lately. It's an inconvenience, but we are able to manage. The fair is free. The only thing they charge for is food which is done by the fire department Ladies Auxiliary department as a fund raiser. I'm not sure where the money comes from, but it all the work is done by volunteers.
DeleteI'm curious about what you and Ward entered at the fair. We have a local 4H county fair that we attend every summer--our daughter was in 4H for a couple of years, so it brings back memories. However, it isn't like yours, in that only 4H kids can participate. I like the idea of community participation.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot on your plate--hang in there!
I will do another post about the fair and show some of our entries. Community participation on many levels is the major reason I like this fair.
DeleteI'm glad your FIL's surgery went well and hope he is recovering well.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the ongoing car problems. Having a second car available is definitely a blessing at such times, isn't it?
Glad the apple tree was processed and at a lower price than was quoted! That rarely happens, does it?
Congratulations on winning ribbons at the county fair. I love the dressed up ears of corn!
My FIL is recovering without complications - a blessing for sure. We are lucky that we have found a reliable, reasonably priced tree person. Independently, the same person was recommended to my sister and she was also happy with his work.
DeleteI hate it if we have a car problem, but glad no one was hurt.. love the Rudbeckia my favourite flowers.
ReplyDeleteRudbeckias are a classic and a favorite of mine, too.
DeleteHello. I just read your comment on Chris's blog and I'm curious about what you use for preventative UTI medicine?
ReplyDeleteCranberry pills and antibiotics
DeleteI’m so glad to hear your FIL is ok. Heart surgery recovery is tough! I’m glad he had y’all to help him. Yay for the fair and the ribbons! That sounds like a lot of fun. I sure hope they can figure out what’s wrong with your car. I know y’all are so frustrated with it all.
ReplyDeleteThe car is better, although we're not sure if the problem is entirely gone. However, they can't recreate the sound in the shop any more, so we're just going to do nothing until it acts up again. They say that it's nothing major and we don't need to worry about the car dying on us.
