Ever been on a short trip, an errand, doctor's visit, traffic light, etc. and wished you had brought along your knitting bag? Mine usually has 2 to 3 projects started so that I don't get bored and thank goodness I had mine this week. Our son graduated from the Army Reserves and we traveled to Columbia, SC to share the experience with him, his wife, our grandchildren and our daughter-in-laws parents. It's been great, the weather, the pomp and circumstance and getting to see John, Jr. for a while.
Yesterday, (March 21, 2009) after the official Graduation, we met at the hotel where the Grandkids were staying with their other Grandparents and we were preparing to hit the road. It's a 9 hour drive back to Kentucky and we just knew we could make it by 10 or 11 pm.
But, low and behold, ALL and I mean ALL of the antifreeze and water ran out of our car. Right in the parking lot. A water hose broke. Called AAA, had the car towed and it turned out to be much, much worse. 32 hours and $1,700.00 later our car was repaired and we were on our way home. Finally.
Yikes. Like I said it could be worse and it was, BUT, I had 3 knitting projects in tow, so I had something to do while we waited and waited and waited. Always make sure you have that little something tucked away, either in the car or right next to your purse. Grab it as you go out the door, because you never know when you'll have a few minutes or more to knit or crochet.
Thank Goodness I had my knitting bag this time. Whew!!!!
