Well this week has been busy enough that it may require 2 posts !!!
Thursday - Jefferson Farmer's Market Day.
Picking, packing, sweating, etc.....
Finally we got it all in the truck. Anyone who knows us can tell you our truck is packed with the precision of a vacationing woman. Every last nook is filled.
The truck has no A/C so we make the best of it with the windows down - hot air blowing.....then BAM !!!! THUMP THUMP THUMP.........tire blew. Of course we are in the left lane. Nancy moves the truck to the side of the road with skills I never knew she had.
All 3 of us get out to survey the damage...........you of course just want to cry but we all stay strong.
OK where is the spare ? Behind 15 bushel of CORN !!!!
I got in and slowly handed bushel at a time to Nancy she passed it to Tori and we stacked it on the side of the road. Got to the tire ...YAY !!!!!n Where is the jack ? Of course it is not with the tire !!!! In the side door - boxes of peaches are unloaded, cases of tomatoes - all stacked on the side of the road.
Tire...check, Jack..........Check - no lug wrench !!!!
The man who saved the day NJ DOT !!!!! Thank God for the one program Christie left in tact !!!
After refusing every piece of produce we offered with a "no thank you I cannot accept anything" off we went to make it with 10 minutes to set up. Its all good !!!!
Good grief, as Charlie Brown would say. I am glad you girls got there and back ok! Praise God for the kid man who helped!
