More about our Journey
Do you ever have the cities where you just can't get anything to go your way? Let's jump back a few years, about 6 to be exact. Once again, we were on our way to Nebraska to see family and stopped in Salina to get gas. I got out to pump the gas and Courtnee ran in to get a few things and pay. On her way in, she locked the doors and also locked the keys in the car. It just so happened that the “BTK” killer’s house was just right down the street!! Thanks to the lovely people that stayed with us while we got back into the car and on the road again. Well, this trip to Nebraska was going great until once again we got to Salina. We stopped to stretch our legs, get a treat, and get gas. No, we didn’t lock the keys in car this time, but we do have an experience to share. Courtnee ran into McDonalds and got some milk shakes while I hung out with Sam outside. Sam and I waited, and waited, and waited. We waited so long that Sam had an accident. Eventually, Courtnee came out with the shakes in hand and evidently it takes over five minutes to make two milkshakes. So, Courtnee sat the shakes on the console of the car, got out, and took care of Sam. While she was changing Sam in McDonalds, Frank (our cat) decided to get out of his cage and get down in the passenger seat floor board. Courtnee and Sam were coming back to the car; I reached over to pick up Frank and whap, I knocked over the milkshake right into my lap. It went all over my shirt and down the side of the seat. Finally, we got everything cleaned up and we were back on our way. While on the way to Holdrege we stopped in Hays Kansas to grab a bite to eat. When we got back into the car and turned on the A/C we didn't have cold air. Once again, I called dad and told him all about it. Calm as can be, dad called in the cavalry! They were able to get us fixed and back on the road by Monday. We are just so grateful of the many friends and family that helped us out while in Holdrege.
We hope that your Labor Day was fun, exciting and a memory too!!
