Homeward bound...again...

You have to make the best of things and let go of things you have no control over. My truck was in the shop to have what turned out to be the drive shaft replaced and the part was going to be three days arriving. We decided to make it an adventure, which it already looked like with the Spanish moss hanging over the trailers.



This morning we decided to go to IHOP for National Pancake Day, then buy some swimsuits and spend the day by the pool. Tough life, I know. Realistically we were all stressed about getting home but there was nothing we could do about it... until I received a call from Ford while we were all looking through a TJ Maxx store...the truck was done and was under warranty! We leapt into action like a well-oiled machine and were on the road within the hour.

I have to say, it was a wonderful experience. What? It's true...the number of sheepdog people that got ahold of us, offered to come get us and the trailers even though they were hours away, put us up until the truck was fixed was absolutely heartwarming. People who don't know us other than seeing us a few times a year at sheepdog trials.

We all need to remember to celebrate this wonderful community of sheepdog people, because they come together and reach out when it counts.
