Garage Sales and Car Blessings

I have a new favorite weekend activity-garage sales. It's such an adventure because you never know what you're going to find. Last weekend, I found lots of great pieces to furnish the apartment. I continued my quest today in hopes of some end tables. Seek and you shall find. I found a great pair of nesting tables that look like I bought them with my chairs. I was so excited. I got the set for 10 bucks, which was great because the cheapest tables I saw in stores were 10 bucks a piece and not nearly as cute. I still haven't found my table for the foyer, but there will be more garage saling tomorrow.

In other news, I had a very pleasant experience at my local Honda dealer yesterday. I took my CR-V in on Wednesday to have the oil changed since we drove it across country. I also asked them to see if they could find what this gargling sound was. They found it. It was the water pump. Then they proceeded to tell me that it would be $400 to put it in and that I shouldn't drive it until the part was replaced. Both people in the shop were very nice to me and the one was even talking to me about Bethel. (People in general out here are really nice.) They had to order the part, so I had to take the car back down on Thursday. When I got there Thursday, they told me my total bill for the oil change, the water pump, and the rear differential was only going to be 238 instead of 500! God is good. They even had a shuttle service that took me home and picked me back up again so I didn't have to sit at the dealer all day long.

I wasn't able to go to the prayer and worship thing the other night because I couldn't drive my car, but I think I'm going to check out Bethel's Friday night service tonight. That should be good.

Off for a walk. The weather is gorgeous. The heat finally broke.
