Boo-Boo. Boo Hoo.

I guess after three years on the road we were overdue for a major mishap. We were all packed up and headed out of town when about 30 miles down the road the transmission guage started heating up. Then as we looked for an exit, we lost the speedometer. Then as we slowed for the exit ramp, we lost the air brakes. We DID make the truck stop and called our emergency road service for a tow. Once hooked up to the tow truck, we got in our car (which we were towing) and headed for the service center. We arrived ahead of the tow truck and were checking in when the motorhome arrived. Along the way, major damage was incurred to the front end and to the rear rock guard. A bad situation had become worse. So now we're back in the townhouse until we can get everything worked out. Anyone want to buy a used RV?

Playing Local Tourist

Drew's sister and her husband are visiting and we decided to take the tasting tour at Whetstone Chocolate Factory in St. Augustine. What a treat! Whetstone was a wholesale supplier to giants such as Nestle’s, Hershey and M&M Mars, but now only sells it's own brand. Our tour guide was not only informative, but entertaining as well. We got to "work the line" with a Lucy replica (remember the I Love Lucy episode where she couldn't keep up with the assembly line and was popping chocolates in her mouth to get rid of them?). A reaffirmation of the health benefits of chocolate, had us leaving with a bagful of delectable delights.
