Thankful Thursday ~ January 8

For some reason I didn't think to start last Thursday which was New Year's Day thinking of what I am thankful for, and I missed it.

Tuesday: I had to write what happened today. Following on a similar line to my last Thankful Thursday post, my husband took our daughter to get her eyes checked again in our hometown. It is 2 1/4 hours and today was a hot day.

In the morning rather than buy lots of drinks I asked hubby to take the cooler. Actually last night I asked him to put some plastic cups of water in the freezer to make giant iceblocks.

On the way home, they hadn't found what my daughter wanted for her birthday. They stopped by a twin city, and in the second city over the border, the car was playing up at the lights. Hubby looked at the temperature and he pulled over. They had travelled over 3 hours and the car heated near a shop that had things for radiators in it. They could walk, the only downside was my daughter was wearing shoes she hadn't worn much before. They were also able to find a tap and buy a big container to put water in. Taps seem hard to find these days of water conservation. Hubby bought a radiator cap, put the water in and found a hose had burst.

The people who sold the hose later came to see how hubby was getting on as it was hard to fit, they even offered cold water for them to drink. It is a bigger town than our hometown but we find them very caring towards country people and probably people in general.

My daughter was glad I hadn't driven her to get her eyes checked, which she was last night!
