Wow, it is cool this morning. It was last night too, felt like early Fall. I can wait a little later to walk. I have to walk in two shifts so Pepper, Roy and Riff get in their needed morning exercise. I usually walk the Rowdy Boy's first, then Pepper, but since Roy seems to need to release more pent up, frustrating energy, sometimes I just let him go on both walks, he has that much pent up energy.
A couple of days ago, we attracted the attention of a friendly, playful boxer puppy. I don't mean puppy in the sense of a cute little thing. This was a six month old full grown, muscular, massive creature, he just so happened to still want to play and he really wanted to play with the little white fuzzies he saw walking by his driveway. Well, our attempts to get him to go home were useless and it was a miserable walk back home with him and my little mongrels. I then walked him home while they fumed in the house.
It was a nice opportunity to meet the neighbors at the top of the hill. They're really nice families, wouldn't have had the chance to say hi and introduce myself if Jerry, the boxer puppy, hadn't taken the time to romp around with us.
Tuesday I had to run to town. The truck felt a bit shakey as I neared my destination. While loading up my bags of birdfood, the stockboy mentioned my tire looked low and said there was an air pump out back. Well, I've never had to deal with this situation on my own before, but I attempted to handle the situation while praying for help. Mark on the cell told me I'd probably need assistance as I had never changed a tire before, let alone a special wheel and tire as on his truck. I continued to pray for help while I fiddled with all the tire changing paraphinalia. I was actually trying to get a lug nut off when a super nice guy approached.
He was driving a city garbage truck and he and his two man crew took care of the tire situation for me. Turns out he's a master mechanic, which is good to know, and he and his crew were a wonderful answer to prayer. My son, also drove over from Lexington, which is nice to know that he's willing to do that for his Mom as well. All in all, it was a great experience.
I thank God for turning the circumstances in my recent days from what originally appeared to be very bad into events that I could finally look back on as very, very good.
I hope you have a great day, gotta go get caught up on my upperroom. luv, Susan
