If you want coke, ask for coke! August 2, 2015

Today has been a much better day. For one, being out of that truck has been glorious!! We didn't have to check on battery warning lights, drive without a speedometer, or worry if we had the right gas. We didn't have to adjust our pillows and blankets trying to find just the right spot to catch a few minutes of shut eye. We didn't have to drive aimlessly for hours on end!

Today was a day for enjoying family and catching up with Tony's sweet Aunts. Aunts Maxine and Earnesteen are some pretty cool people. And of course, so are Uncles Jack and Fred. It's always great catching up with them and seeing how life has been treating them since the last time we were together.

Being Irish, alcohol runs in their veins and we had to have cocktail hour. They offered Cass her choice, and she decided on rum and coke. Aunt Maxine doesn't believe in doing anything half way and the rum may have outweighed the coke by a bit. Cass cringed slightly when taking the first swig and immediately was told "If you want coke, ask for coke!" We all died laughing. That's Aunt Maxine - no holds barred. Love that woman!!

We have come up with a plan of Tony taking the truck to the Ford dealership here early tomorrow morning. We're hoping for nothing but good news! It did run fine around the city today, albeit we only went a total of 20 miles or so. Maybe all the kinks worked themselves out over night and tomorrow will be nothing but smiles and high fives.

The crew is exhausted. They were all in bed sleeping by 9:15. I thought I better get caught up on blogs while I had a chance. Tomorrow is another day of rest, and we'll gladly take it. We're going to need to play some catch up as Tuesday we get back to the mad dash vacation.
