No, I dont have brown eyes, but my heart sure is feeling blue. Day 2 did not start out as planned. In fact, day 1 didn't end as planned. After spending gads of dough to make sure Stan (my SUV) was safe for the trip, we broke down in the middle of nowhere. Yep. Bells and whistles starting going off, so we pulled over. Almost immediately a nice guy pulled over and looked at the engine. Both he and Loren were crawling under the car on the gravel highway shoulder looking at what was leaking. Seemed to be oil and water. The good Samaritan called his tow truck buddy and off Stan goes to a mechanic in the last town back- Brownwood. The tow truck driver took us to a hotel, and here we sit. Supposed to be in Roswell tonight. We'll see about that. That said, this town has the nicest people we have ever met! 3 people stopped to help us, the hotel gave us a discount after our sob story, and the mechanic is doing all he can to get us outta here and back on the road. The biggest surprise of all is that my nephew, Lukas, just happens to currently be in this town I have never heard of! He is the music director at a camp here. Anyway, we will continue to sit here until called to come get Stan. Stay tuned...
