A Balance of Harmonies: Party, part JJ

I realized yesterday I hadn’t been home when I wasn’t exhausted or sick in over a week as I got ready for yet another day trip. I like day trips, but this year our two week vacation became one week, so in order if fit most of our trips in we had to get rid of the rest days between. Then yesterday after a trip to the gorge, when we were about four miles from home, our car protested and died.

The kids and I and my daughter’s boyfriend walked home the long way through the trees past water fountains and bathrooms and not the quick, direct way without either. It was over 85° (29.4°C). This also put us at one point not far from the library where my kids decided to rest up with the bags as the boyfriend and I walked the last two or so miles back to the house. Then he went and got them.

Turns out there is nothing wrong with the car. It drove fine to the garage after a 45 minute rest and started fine today. Maybe the car was just as tired and cranky as the rest of us. Today is a rest day for both us and the car. And we decided not to go to the coast tomorrow, just in case the car acts up again.
