We finally got the insurance to make a decision on fixing our beloved VW. And they totaled it. And bought out what we had insured it for. So sad to see it go but being so gra from home we decided the best option was to take the money and buy another car that would serve our traveling and towing purpose. We would have kept the VW if we had been at home as Rod knew it would be fixable.
So car shopping we went!!! Our Biggest obstical was finding a company that was able to title and tag it in SC. Most dealer ships were not able to help us. Stopped into a Toyota dealership which all of them did said sure we can title it in SC !!! I said really?? Please make sure before we waste your time and ours. Sure enough the manager came and said no problem. They got us into a cute little basic 2014 Chevrolet Spark no freals, one owner car that we were able to make a deal and tagged and title in SC!!!! Next obstacle!!! A tow bar for the motorhome. The one we had was made for the VW and would not work on any other car. Searching 1500-2000 dollars!!!!! So we decided to check out a few pawn shops and ask around to possibility of finding a used one. We got home late that day and I didn’t feel cooking a meal was in my capibilities!! Lol.
We drove into the small town here near the RV park called Lytle, TX. We had drove through there a few days ago and knew there was a whata burger, sonic. But on our way there we remembered a small diner ( Naomi’s Diner) that was down in town so we decided to check it out!!! That evening God sent us our Guardian Angel!!! Naomi herself came and sat with us at our table. We ate the days special roasted turkey gravy, homemade dressing, green beans and tea!!! She ask about our story and travels and we told her about the accident, not being able to find a tow bar, and having to spend the next few days looking in hopes of finding a used one. She told u she had lived here all her life and would put out a mass message and she would find us a tow dollie!! We thanked her and left feeling we had met a wonderful lady.
She texted me the next day and said come have supper at the diner this evening, my treat and let’s talk I have you a Dollie !!!
We had great meatloaf, mash potatoes and green beans!!! It was yummy!! She said come tomorrow get my truck, I will have directions and go look a the Dollie an friend of a friend of a friend of her son called her and told her his uncle had one for $600.00.
We went and got her truck Crowe about 8 miles and saw the Dollie. Needed some TLC but for $600.00 Rod was thrilled!!! We towed it Naomi’s truck back to our RV park, returned her truck to the restaurant and guess what!!! She had a fish platter sitting waiting for us to come eat!!!
She was as excited as we were that God had answered our prayers!!!
We will be here until March 6th and leave for Big Bend National Park in west Texas!
Please keep our travels in your prayers!!
Love to all, Ms. Fran & Cap’n Rod
