transmission fried

We fried the transmission on our tow vehicle. Not a very appetizing dish!!!  We reached Ft. Stockton, TX and tried to start the car and it wouldn't start.  We took it to the Ford store in Stockton and they told us that the transmission was fried!!  He couldn't work on it for three weeks so we towed it to Carlsbad, NM and took it to the Ford store there and they can't work on it for two weeks.  After talking to Burd Ford they said we couldn't continue towing it to Apache Junction as that is too far so we have rented a tow dolly to tow it to Apache Junction.  What a mess!!  I have no idea how we will get it on the tow dolly since it doesn't run but that is a story for later!!!  

Goodbye Southern Texas

We will be leaving the Southern Texas skies in just two days!  We are off to Carlsbad Caverns and then on to Arizona!  We have enjoyed Southern Texas and are looking forward to new horizons.  Wed. we will be in Ft. Stockton, TX and the on to NM and then Arizona here we come!  We will be in Apache Junction, AZ on the 1st of April in time for my cousin's birthday!!

Donuts anyone??

I am going to try donuts!!  I just read a fun mystery with recipes at the end of each chapter for different kinds of donuts!!  Yummy!!!  If all else fails however we found a great donut shop in McAllen, TX.  The name of the store is Shipley Donuts and the.y have been in business since 1936.  Their yeast donuts are as good as Longs.

In the meantime, I made some pretty good wheat bread for dinner tonight.
