Still without a car

After our experiences on our Arkansas trip, Melanie and I have been taking it easy at home in California.

Meanwhile, a bit of drama we were not involved in directly happened in New Mexico: the insurance and the body shop managed to lose the car somewhere between the shop where we left it after being towed off the freeway and the body shop where it was to be evaluated for repairs. :)

Yeah, that sounds funny, but yesterday, they managed to find it after a corporate dude in El Paso made calls to all the towing companies in Albaqwerky and located it in one of their holding yards, waiting on one of the body shops to agree to take it. :)

We still don't have a car, and they tell us it may be a month before they start repairs!! Thank goodness for grocery delivery services.

Leasing a car will cost about $275 a week, so we are putting that off for now and evaluating used cars for purchase in the area.

In the meantime, we have been watching a few movies in the evenings. Last night was The Princess Bride, a favorite of both of ours.

Hugs,
Erin
