Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me

On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome
as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

Ze car, she is vorking vunce again
Turned out to be mainly a matter of replacing the spark plugs and wires, although they also cleaned the throttle body and fuel injectors. Says so right on the receipt. I returned the loaner to Camille and Bob G. with a full tank of gas. And I found a new mechanic, a good one, in the bargain.

ReplyDeleteWell, since you are on the subject...Natalie moved to Luxembourg, and Dad is still trying to sell her 2006 Toyota Matrix. Know anyone who needs a car?!!
ReplyDeleteOh good. I'm glad you have mobility again.
ReplyDeleteI have a faith of sorts... that good things usually happen to good people. Because they are good.
The repair bill was another big miracle. Someone else paid it.
ReplyDeleteOn Sunday I had nine dollars in my bank account, an empty billfold, and a dollar in change in my pocket. I put the dollar in the church offering.
Little is much when God is in it.
Yay! Merry Christmas.
