Lucy's lucky day

Last night on the way back to the hotel our car broke.  Actually we were already in the parking lot, which was very fortunate. 
This morning we learned that we needed a new alternator (cha ching).   Lu was so happy because a) she had been wanting a plastic tube of pucker powder all day long, all two days long actually.  Last night after our show we actually went to the welcome center to try and buy one but it was 9:30pm and the stores were closed.  We did get a nice view of the night falls.  She was very sad though.   This happy turn of events, it's all about perspective, meant we could go to the store again.  and b) we could go to the pool again.
$600, a trip to Mr. Canadian Tire, eh, and many hours later we were on the road and safely made it home at 1am.  The last couple hours we were all very, very tired.  R was driving and felt like he was going to fall asleep so we sang.  For two hours.  Hymns.  It was actually fun, except my throat hurts when I sing, ever since my vocal chords were dissected years ago.  It's okay though, it's gotten better over the years. Singing the hymns of the gospel is always a special experience.
