Oh well🤷‍♀️

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”  Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I’m holding on to this verse today for various reasons. The one I can share with you is this one….

so much for our camping trip today through Thursday. The topper for Dennis’s truck finally came in and was installed on Friday.  We had waited four months for it to arrive. We were so excited to go camping today after church because we would finally have room in the back of the truck and things would be protected. We could put our chairs, the grill, etc., back there with no more worries about them getting wet or blowing out. We got everything packed up last night and ran by the storage lot on the way home from church today and turned the refrigerator on in the trailer. We came home and carried everything down twenty stairs to the garage, got the meat from the freezer and put it in the cooler with some ice until the refrigerator got cold enough. 

Then…. Dennis went to pull the truck over in front of the garage so we could load everything in it and it won’t start. The battery is completely dead. He said that when he got into the truck Friday afternoon to pick it up from the shop, everything was in metric.  Kilometers, liters, etc. He reset it all but when he tried to start it just now it was all back to metric. Apparently when they installed the topper they crossed some wires somewhere and of course they’re not open today. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow and call AAA. If they can come jumpstart the truck, he will take it over to the shop and see if they can figure out what happened. If all goes well, we may still get to go camping tomorrow, but who knows? I think we’re doomed. Every single trip we’ve planned this year has had something go wrong. 

Mandy is relieved since severe weather is predicted for this afternoon and tonight in the area we would be camping. I just watched the weather forecast and it was predicting severe storms tonight, Monday and Tuesday. Maybe this is the reason we weren’t able to go. 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know, but it’s sure a lot of work to get things packed up. Then we needed to haul everything back up the 20 stairs! 🥵

I do have a couple of things to show you since Wednesday when I last posted. I finished the wheelchair blanket I had just started. All with stash yarn. I just finished it last night, so it has not been washed and blocked. I also had my toes done with my sister and niece yesterday. Do you see them peeking up there at the bottom of the picture? I have only gotten red nail polish once before in my life. I guess I’m not a very daring person. I decided to be bold for a change! 😂

I am also starting the toe decreases on another sock. The cuff is a 2 x 2 ribbing and I always use the Eye of Partridge heel. Otherwise it’s a plain vanilla sock  using Kroy Socks in the “Seventies Stripes” colorway.

I guess it’s been just another day in the life of the queens! You never know what’s going to happen at our house. On a positive note we have no responsibilities for the next three days if we do end up staying home. Of course we will be checking up on Mom, but other than that we have no appointments scheduled.

Take care everyone and stay safe if you’re in the path of the storms the weather guy is talking about. I’ll be back soon. Keep watch and pray because the Day of the Lord is drawing near.

Blessings and love,

Betsy
