Rescued... now off again

Whew. Stranded in the dark with kids and Pat on the shoulder of I-5 near Coalinga... for hours... that wasn't fun. The tow cost me $155 and truck showed up around 2am... he dropped us off at the next exit, with whatever we could unload while the car was still lifted. Fortunately there was a motel with a room available... we crashed for a couple of hours there.

Meanwhile... my sweetie rocks. I sent an SOS to [personal profile] tenacious_snail... and she went to the airport, rented a minivan that could hold us all and our stuff at 1am, and drove the 2-1/2 hours alone down to rescue us, arriving around 4:45am. We loaded and she dropped us at home by 7:30am... watching a beautiful sunrise.

I showered, changed, re-packed and then Les picked me up at 8:30am to go to SFO airport for my flight to Atlanta...

I was dozy today, at one point dropping off in front of relatives in my parents' living room...
