Not even a broken car can ground me. Wedged into my friend’s compact, three of us headed off to Pennsylvania for five days of relaxation and friendship. The trip down offered glorious spectacles of fall colours transforming the mountains into nature’s gardens. The week was spent exploring the Poconos, swimming in a delicious salt-water pool and wandering along the Delaware River . According to Murphy’s Law, my camera was nestled in my car ready to go and of course I switched cars and forgot my camera – grrr. While there, I learned a new card game which I immediately introduced to my grandchildren on my return so they could beat the pants off me. Why are they so smart? Ah, but I’d not have it otherwise.
I have spent the morning sorting out the dilemma of my car which I have been informed will plunge me into spending way too much money. Can’t live with those metal beasts and certainly not without them.
