Day 7 in the state of being stuck

No news on the part yet. Not much going on. My mother is still bored. My dad has read a lot. That's about it.

More bad luck

The part may not be finished before the long weekend, everything is of course closed on Monday. My parents may be stuck there for another week.

My mother is thrilled.

She wishes that ya'll would pray that they finish and ship the part before Friday.

That's about all that is going on there. They went to a prayer meeting with my cousin this evening, and they are currently shopping at Walmart, my mother wants a deluxe Scrabble game, as it will help pass the time.

The latest

I spoke with my mother this morning. The axle should be built sometime today, perhaps it will arrive by tomorrow. They hope to be on the road by Thursday, but who knows. She'll be spending time with my grandma today, my dad will probably take a nap, read a book, and take another nap.

Don't you wish you could party like they do?

Vacation in Illinois

This morning they went to the John Deere historic site. It is the location where John started his blacksmith business, which he is well known for. It was an interesting tour of his home and a replica of his shop.

Today my mother visited with her sister, who is moving to Florida soon, she did laundry, and enjoyed some nice weather.

They brought along some Michigan mice in their camper, and as of last night they have caught 3. They think they caught them all, but still have traps set.

Thanks to Linda K. for the crackers and mini-muffins.

Sabbath they went to the Rock Falls church and were invited to the former pastors house for lunch. They had a nice visit with them.

Tomorrow they should hear something from the RV service techs as to when the new axle will arrive and when they'll install it. They are hoping that this will be soon. In the mean time, they are bored. They can talk on the phone for free after 7 (central time currently). My mother also says that you can comment here, and I'll read it to her.

Still stuck

I spoke with my mom twice today. The latest is that the axle will have to be specially made, which will take until Wednesday or so, it will then need to be shipped to Illinois, where the RV is.

My mother is bored, and has free nights and weekend minutes on her cell phone, so feel free to call her. Email me if you need the number- sdanun at yahoo dot com.

Stuck

The RV had blue smoke coming out from the back of it. It seems as the the bearings on one tire are shot. Stuck in Rockford 'til it gets fixed.

edit: It's not the bearings, it is the entire axle. The repair place has to special order a new one from Elkhart, Indiana. No word yet on how long that will take, my parents are staying in a campground, just chillin' until it gets fixed. On the bright side, no flat tires yet.

Dixon

Al packed the cell phone charger, the atlas and a few other essentials which are not accessible. We are in Dixon, Ill. Saw some family. No flat tires yet. Donna ran a stop sign in the Uhaul. She feels guilty.
