Not the Update I'd Planned

I'm waiting for a tow ... 150 miles from home.



I'm thankful someone finally stopped--he has a cell phone booster in his truck and thought I might need it.

Cell service was almost non-existent.  It took getting out of the care and walking around a bit to find a signal.

(It 's kind of incredible how many cars and trucks did not stop to help the old lady on the side if the road.)







Two hours later someone else stopped to ask if I needed help.  Turns out he owns a AAA tow company in the next town.  He asked, "Why didn't they call me?"   I wondered the same thing.  I waited three hours for someone who was two hours away.  AAA told me it would be a 45 minute wait.

Oh my!! I'm glad there was at least one kind stranger to help you. Cars are a great thing, until they stop working. Kathie L in Allentown

What a scary, and aggravating, experience. I hope you're safe and sound now.

Oh my. What a horrable day you have had. Go home and relax.. Maybe a glass of something nice and cool to help settle the nerves from all that wait and aggravation.

Waiting by the side of the road. I bet you were worried and bored. I hope you are in a safe place now.
