Last week was dreadful and I've never been so glad to see a week be over in my life. The best part of the week was my sister and brother-in-law getting here from Texas. That should be all of the story but nope - it's not. Since life is always an adventure for me and those around me they had one. About an hour from my house a deer ran out in front of their motor home. It didn't end well for the deer, although we can't be sure because my BIL never found it. It didn't exactly end well for the motor home either. The front of it suffered some damage (a lot) and it wouldn't crank. They were finally able to arrange to get it towed to my house and finish their trip. You know, someone asked me if their motor home was like Cousin Eddie's on Christmas Vacation and I told them "No, it's a nice one." I may have to change that opinion. A new battery got it running again without a problem. But in order to drive it back to Texas, they are going to have to secure the loose parts on the front end. What would be the tool of choice for any red-blooded, American male to do this? Duct tape!! I can hardly wait to see this after they get it fixed. I've got to take a picture and try to figure out how to post it here.
Things have settled down some for them since they got here though - if you don't count not having water or heat the first morning they woke up. Or not having water the second morning they woke up. Or running out of propane. Just little things like that. We figure by the time they get it all straightened out, it will be time for them to leave - much to my BIL's relief, I'm sure.
