Small Successes

1. Well this wasn’t actually my personal success but I’m still very proud of Mr. Pete. He looked and looked for the right family vehicle for us. Finally found one on eBay – four states away!! He drove down there alone, found the place, bought the van, rented a hitch from U Haul and then drove the new van back towing the car behind! And did I mention it was 8 to 9 hours of driving both ways?!

He also over came our little insurance problem. He tried to get plates in the state where he bought the car, but they didn’t accept our insurance so they would not let him buy plates. He tried to buy insurance, but they wouldn’t let him because he wasn’t a resident. So he took the plates off of the car he drove down, slapped them on the new van and drove back!! Today we went to get the temporary plates for the van and the lady said what he did was illegal -yea, we know. But I’m a little unclear on what the other choices were? Anyway we’re all legal now!

2. I got my mom’s ashes and arranged for her to be inurned tomorrow and even have a priest who can come out and do a little service. So this part of the saga is almost over and I feel that I have done the best that I can for my mom.

3. I have TWO weddings to work this weekend. One of the brides is very nervous but through our e-mails I think I was able to help her out a little bit. I pointed out that her wedding day is on the eve of the feast of St. Anne and then I gave her the link to the novena. I think it helped and I’m glad I had that information.
