It takes a lot of patience when dealing with things that are not in one’s control.
If you remember in March this year we had an accident that put a dent into Lucy as well as Lou. In May the trailer (Lou) was finally labeled as ‘totaled’ which meant the insurance company came and picked her up and refunded us the money. Now we were stuck without a trailer needing to travel from Colorado to Texas. We were lucky that the Casson Family volunteered to store my car, Rosalina, for the next 2 1/2 months.
Ron went ahead and put an order in for a new trailer to be build in Waco, Texas, and we went on to drive just Lucy to San Antonio were we spend 2 months in San Antonio mostly but also went back to Magnolia Beach as well as to Canyon Lake.
We finally got a call from the trailer place in July that the trailer was finished so we went to Waco in the beginning of August to go pick up our Lou II. From there we headed up to Colorado Springs because we also got the call that the two awnings were in and ready to be installed.
So this past week on August 17 Lucy got her awnings repaired. That day we also found out that the parts arrived for the collision repair. That’s the good news as the parts are in but the bad news is that the collision repair place called to tell us they are understaffed as they lost some employees. This means we still don’t have a date……
All of this has been a pain for now 5 months! Crazy as this explains why we have not done yet what we originally set out to do. We did however made the best of this down time as we got to spend time with Niki, the girls as well as Connor and Alex.
The goal is that as soon as we get a repair date we have to find a one month vacation rental. We were told the repairs will take 10 to 15 working days which translates to us to 3 to 4 weeks.
Once Lucy is repaired our sights are fixed on Georgia to visit with Sam and the rest of the family. Sam, my SIL is in hospice care and her daughter Tammy and granddaughter Christina are taking care of her. So time is of the essence.
So my hope is we get a repair schedule soon, find a good place to stay and get this whole incident behind us……
