Why does the car smell?

Heather had a doctor’s appointment to recheck her ear infection and although it was morning, it was already pretty warm (nothing like in Houston though).  So when we arrived, Heather parked near a tree in the shade.  We were inside for a while and when we came out the trash company was backing into the area to empty the dumpster and IT WAS LOUD.  We just kept walking straight out to the car.  I opened the door and realized that someone nearby must be smoking so I hurried and got in as I started really choking up.  When I closed the door, the smell was WORSE so I turned around to see if someone was right outside the car (and even checked the backseat for good measure).  The entire time I am saying “why does the car smell like cigarettes?… why is it worse? … where is the cigarette smell coming from?”  Heather is also mumbling over on her side and suddenly yelps “Sun roof?! WRONG CAR!!!”  We both jumped out, slammed the doors and took off running to OUR car (still parked in the shade under the tree).  HOWEVER, the trash truck was now right next to our car and the driver had watched the entire scene unfold and was LAUGHING (ok, so were we!).  So next time your cars smells… might make sure it is in fact, YOUR CAR!

111-71 in under 30 seconds

We were driving back from East Texas and we were somewhere out in West Texas watching our thermostat go up… it was at 111.  When a few miles down the road, it began to RAIN… a LOT… and suddenly in less than about 30 seconds, our thermostat said 71… that’s quite a temperature change!

Overheard

Jody and Sheri had a fish fry Friday night and the food was excellent. As Sheri was preparing everything to go with the fish that Jody was frying, I went into the kitchen to offer assistance “Sheri, is there anything I can do to help?” Without skipping a beat, she said “Yes, I know you… get out of my kitchen.” Everyone else in the immediate area was stunned that she would be so blunt but Heather and I burst out laughing 😉 Heather mentioned to someone “I’m afraid to go off to college… I know they’ll all starve when I’m gone!”

We “lapped” Scotty ;-)

OK, so we changed our minds and decided we could manage to take a trip after all.  So we picked up the truck from the shop on Thursday, scrambled around and got things packed up and when William got home from vacation Bible school on Friday, we pulled out for Texas.  We were on the road by 7pm and drove straight through (mostly to bypass all that dry Texas HEAT that’s been going on!!).  But the rain appeared to be following us!  So around 2pm on Saturday, we were nearing Grapeland, TX and Jeff decided to call his dad.  Scotty said that they were in Corsicana, TX and would be home in a few hours.  Of course, we had to tease him and say “Well, that’s why you aren’t answering your front door!”  They had stopped and played with friends along the way, because that’s what retired folks can do if they want!

Fortunately for us, Sheri and Jody had already turned on the A/C out at the lakehouse and invited us over for FOOD! 😉
