Tuesday was quite an adventure, all happening before 11am. I took to the road, but only 2 miles down the road my car was giving me problems. I pulled over to get gas, popped the hood, and stood there for a minute. I guess I looked pretty lost, so a guy came up and asked if I needed help with anything. Cliff-note version, the man he was with called a mechanic friend of his who said he could help. We drove out there and the guy looked at my car. I have to say, he was a character- super friendly, so was his mechanic son, but both very eclectic. They gave me 3 gallons of water and said to watch my temp gauge and sent me on my way- nothing they could do for me in an hour. So, on the road again, and no problems for the next 500 miles- made it to my grandma's house completely fine.
I've had such a great time here with her- her cooking is amazing, as usual, her house is familiar, and we have so much fun together. I've also been able to get back running, raking leaves, and we got my car actually fixed. Lola is now ready for the road.
Tonight I caught up with a great friend from college, Martha, who lives here. We had pizza and beer (what we're good at) at Cici's. Then back to her house to catch up with her parents. What a fabulous night! Just what I needed. Now, in the morning, I'm off for Baltimore.
