We got up Thanksgiving morning, had all the stuff sitting in the basement ready to be packed into the car. I grabbed the electronic trunk/door opener for the car and it didn't work. Oh, well, the battery must be dead in it. So Rick grabbed his, same result. So he opened the door with the key, got in and tried to start the car and it was deader than a door nail.
Our red car is dead in the driveway and has been for three weeks. But we still have the Blazer and it works, but we couldn't drive it on this trip because the tires are weather checked and cracked. That caused us to be stranded in the middle of no where this summer in the red car when one if the tires peeled apart. We didn't want to take that chance again. So the Blazer was not an option. We didn't know how to do jumper cables, so I ran in and brought up step by step instructions on the internet and printed them off, while Rick got the Blazer started and in position next to the Black car. I read the directions and he did the steps. We were able to get our Black car running! Yippee Skippee! We were in business. We left the car running while we dashed in and got all our stuff and loaded it in the car. The dog stood behind the gate at the top of the stairs and yelled and hollared and shrieked (she's a pug...they do that) because she thought she was going to be forgotten.
We got everything else in first then I went up to get the dog. She has a bad back so I have to carry her on the stairs. Her curly tail twirled like a helicopter blade she was so happy. She was happy to go into her "suitcase" and get strapped into the back seat, and we were off for a fun Thanksgiving Day.
We enjoyed our Thanksgiving Day with my sister and her husband and my parents this year. We have much to be thankful for!
