Today was a day of errands. Justin's truck had a recall that had to be done by the end of the year, so he took today off, came home last night, and we headed to the Ford dealer to get the crankcase vent replaced and the PCM reprogrammed. (Does it sound like I know what I'm talking about? I don't.)
Justin works for wonderful people who really value him and his work, and he had been rewarded with some very nice Christmas presents. He received a very warm and wonderful piece of outdoor clothing, but unfortunately it was too small. I called around to Cabela's in PA, CT, and DE in hopes that he could exchange it for a larger size, but we weren't that lucky. He decided to return it and see what else he could find as a substitute, so we headed 75 miles down the road to Cabela's in Hamburg, PA. The return went smoothly, we had a fun time shopping with barely any crowds, he found what he was looking for, and I even got some accessories to improve my bow shooting.
After lunch we headed home, and on the way, he got a call from the optician saying his new lenses were ready. Justin was welding and a spark burned a hole right through his lens. He swore he was wearing a welding helmet, but better his glasses than his eye. Jim the optician popped the old lenses out, popped the new ones in, and told us they were free. He congratulated us on our fortuitous Tuesday, and I wholeheartedly agreed. I wish every Tuesday could be just as fortuitous, but I certainly intend to appreciate this one where everything fell into place and better yet, I got to spend it with Justin.
What a great day - and I am with you - better the lens than his eye! Yikes!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you and Justin had a great day together. I've been to that Cabela's!
ReplyDeleteIf I had read this yesterday, I would have recommended you pick up a lottery ticket -- luck certainly seemed to be on your side!
ReplyDeleteDoes a day in the middle of holiday shopping season get any better than this? I think not! I am so glad you had such a lovely Tuesday with your son. Productive, enjoyable, and stress free, come to think of it, I could use a day like that. Ha Ha I didn't know that welding could send sparks that eat through your glasses. YIKES
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! I hope I can squeeze in some similar time with Maddy before she leaves... time is ticking and she is busy preparing, so we'll see. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a Fortuitous Tuesday of Perfection!
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice when the stars align in just the right way! (I wish every Tuesday were like that.) XO
ReplyDeleteaw - what a wonderful day ... especially because you got to enjoy all those fortuitous moments with Justin!
