Happy faces 2...

As a disclaimer, I am not the best taker of pictures. If you want to see really good ones, check out Kate's blog. But I want to share why I was in seven days of pure happiness.

Blessings...

Early Monday morning I was excited to be on my way to the temple. to be precise. My trusty car did not seem to be running as well as that nice rental car I had been driving. Oh, well, I thought, that was a brand new car. When what to my amazement but my car stopped, yes the engine stopped at the corner of Freedom and 400 North*. So I turned the key off and turned it back on, pushed the gas pedal and the engine stopped, again. Hmmmm thought I, this is not good*. It is pitch dark and I am in the middle of the road. Out I got to push the car to the curb. I got it about a foot, my first goal was to get it past the white line, just inches away, but to no avail. No cars were passing, no people were on the street. After all it was 5:00 a.m.! A young man* appeared out of the dark and asked if he could help me. I gladly accepted his offer and we pushed, well he pushed, the car to the curb. Many thanks! And he was on his way. I gathered up my things and walked* back home. Where I got out Ray's trusty truck* and was soon on my way. I enjoyed my time in that special edifice* and was able to get to work on time*. After some consultation with a knowledgeable about cars person*, we determined it must be the fuel pump. I called AAA* and the tow truck was there in minutes*. The driver towed* my car to our trusty mechanic, Doug*. All I could think of was how blessed I was Monday morning!
