Weekly Tidbits

So I started this post last week and never got around to finishing it or posting it :) Let me try one more time!

Monday and Wednesday I went to revival at Bethany Baptist Church in Horton. A friend of mine goes there and I have visited a few times myself. It is a nice church with super nice people. One of the speakers had a very interesting topic and I am not sure how it went over with the older people of the church. He said that we can't keep doing what we have been doing in the Southern Baptist Churches. Church in which the population is mostly older individuals are shrinking and new more contemporary churches are growing. So I kinda agree...and disagree with him.

Tuesday, me and two other friends went to the Stardome Comedy Club in Birmingham. We had a great time laughing and having girl time. We ate at Moe's Southwest Grill and let me tell you, we loved the coke machine. It had over 1000 flavors of coke products. I guess we were a little out of our element! One of the comedians, Mike Gardner, was so interesting and funny. I would love to see him again. The main comedian Shaun Jones was very good. I know if I ever go back, I don't want to sit in the front rows, because they get picked on. Chris has never been, so I am trying to get tickets again and maybe he can go.

Chris and I had to take my car to the shop Monday. It had a cracked radiator and needed new struts. I followed him to Cullman and brought back my new ride for the week. The mechanic did call and let us know that my car was ready about Thursday. We decided to wait until Monday to go and get it.

Monday of this week we went and picked my car up....$390! Wow! I am so thankful for Dave (the mechanic) he does good work and is real good about prices.

Tuesday I had some business I needed to take care of in Ashland, so I took the day off and went down. Just as I got into the area where I have NO CELL PHONE SERVICE my car starts to stop. Now at this point it is raining. So I get my car pulled into a driveway and ask the lady if I could use a phone. Well, with my luck...she has no long distance on her home phone, no cell phone and no computer.
So for a few seconds I was like, I am stuck here until someone comes looking for me. GREAT! The lady finally remembers she could call her husband and he could call my mom. So that is what we did. Mom called back after about 10-15 minutes and I told her where I was. Her and dad got there and we think it is a transmission hose. We went and bought some fluid and when we put it in and cranked up the car, the fluid poured out. We then came back to Ashland and borrowed a car hauler from my uncle. Went back and got the car and brought it back to Ashland. It took mom and dad five tries to get in on the hauler. Mom actually did some manual work! So that is where it is now. Chris and I plan on going down Saturday and letting Chris look at it and see if we can get it working. If not we are going to haul it back to Boaz and take it to the mechanic again. After a long day, that was not planned, Mom and mawmaw brought me back to Boaz.

I hope the rest of the week is quite!
