The kindness, not of strangers, but of friends

Yesterday, my car's engine started overheating, and so I dropped it off at our local mechanic (and, it needs always to be said, he's absolutely amazingly fantastic). Of course, since I dropped it off late in the afternoon, I knew he wouldn't be able to get to it until Monday, but that's okay.

Then this morning, LOML mentioned that one of the minivan's tires was looking rather low --- and so we decided that we couldn't drive that --- leaving us marooned. But fortunately, we have friends, and have been loaned a van for a couple of days. So thanks, JA! for asking your father, and thanks, JA! for lending us the van!

Yours, hoping that we can be as helpful to others as others are to us,
