Our Holiday in San Diego

What an awesome time we had with family in Carlsbad, with even a stop over in Glendora to pick up Chelsey at her cute little house she shares with several other college gals! A yummy Thanksgiving dinner at Chad & Summer's with their little munchkins plus the rest of the fam...not any less important, although those little ones steal your hearts. Savanah, was quite a character, playful and ohhh so smart she kept us all going, and Blake, we decided was content in Toms arms anytime. Their turkey shirts mommy made were adorable. It was all enough to take our minds off of the pending dilemma with the broke down diesel truck. We had a 3 day extended stay in Carlsbad due to this ongoing saga. A big note of appreciation to Aaron & Shelby, whose hospitality & help was amazing, you know we love you both! That poor shop they thought they had it all figured out and we hoped they did too, although in the end we flew home leaving the mystery of the big black truck for the shop to uncover. Now 2 weeks later they think the oil something..something part is the issue too. However they can't get to it with that big ol engine in the way, $$$$$$$$$$ is what I see...and I am less sure they know that this new idea will make it run....I think there will be a new plan....with Tom & his brother Bill 'fetching ' that ol beauty and bringing her/him home. Even with the stress of our plans having to be adjusted a few times, we did make the best of it and enjoyed the extra time spent at the Brays. After a bumpy flight, we were anxious to be home. So much so that I ran off with someone else luggage...oh my...a second trip immediately back out to the airport....we hit the sack quite exhausted, although none the less thankful indeed.
