Amy's 'momentary trouble'

Amy and I made plans to get up Saturday morning, run out and pick up some doughnuts for breakfast and hit farmers market. Later in the morning, I would run a few errands before my tee time at 11:30am. So, we got up about 8:30am, threw on some clothes and a hat (bed head, ya know!) and headed out. On the way to the bakery (or as they say it Bakeri) we remember that downtown is having ‘Old Fashion Days’ and it will be near unto impossible to get to the farmers market, so we decide to skip that portion of our little venture and head to the bakery. The setup for ‘Old Fashion Days’ has many of the downtown streets blocked off and we find that we can’t pull up close to it and have to park about a block away. Amy and I walk our way down and as usual, she runs into several people she/we know. We select and pay for our doughnuts and head back for the van. Out in the street in front of the bakery, all types of antique cars and trucks are parked and we spot someone we know that used to go to our church so we make a point of walking past as we haven’t seen this person in quite some time. As we walk past, we say ‘Hi!’ he turns his head, glances at us and says ‘Oh, hi.’ He doesn’t come shake my hand, or come give Amy a hug and ask us how we’re doing, nothing! Just turns back to what he was doing…wow! That was an interesting encounter! Well, may God bless him and his family! So, we make it back to our van, I get Amy in and set the doughnuts on the back seat and…the van wont start! It won’t even turn over! For a moment I think ‘Great! I’ve got Amy downtown and it’s 80 deg out! There is NO WAY she can walk home from here.’ Then I remember that Lequeta said that she’d be up to the church in the morning, so thinking that I need to get Amy home out of the heat, I call Lequeta and not only does she come to pick-up Amy, she calls her husband Glen to come help me. Long story short, the battery was dead and wouldn’t even take a charge, so Glen runs me out to Farm & Fleet to get a new battery and helps me install it! Now it’s 11:15am and I’m supposed to tee off in 15 min! I rush home and quickly clean up and rush out to the club. The team I was supposed to play with already tee’d off, but I was able to play with the Vegter team and had a great time!

I didn’t get half of the things done that I wanted to and I felt like I was pressed for time, but I am thankful for friends that you can call on a moments notice and they will drop what they are doing to come help. Thanks Glen & Lequeta! May God richly bless you and your family! May He look upon you with favor and guide your paths all of your lives. May He reach down and protect you and keep you safe!
