...of how close we are to everything now!

Old photo of the offending car...

Having a little bad luck today.  My husband's really old car decided NOT to start after it was gassed up at the station down the road.  So Ralph calls me to share this news and says he will walk home with lunch.  Yes, he is only a half mile or so away.  Instead, I took my van and got him so our food would still be warm. 

Playing frisbee amidst our bad luck...lol.

What is so funny about this (at least to us) is after years of living way out in the woods, miles and  miles from everything, it is ridiculous how close everything is to us now in our new home.  We ate lunch, Ralph played some frisbee with the dogs, then set off in my van to drive the whole half mile to try to start the car once again.  No go.  He is now having the car towed....lol....across the road from us to our mechanic.  If any other money is needed, our bank is across the road, too.  Presently, there is a brand new McDonalds being built...you guessed it...just down the road from us, well within walking distance.  Dunkin' Donuts is next door, and beyond that a Thai restaurant, and an ice cream parlor.  We are still getting used to having everything so available to access.  It makes frustrating events like a non-starting car much easier to deal with.  Life is good...and much easier.

Take care.
