So I posted about this was going to be a long day for me , I just had no clue what it was going to turn into. After Coopers appointments we dropped him at school and headed for Dodge City to get groceries. Mattie's BMW SUV started to not shift right, and running rough .I stopped at the Flying J to get fuel and my son got out to go pay for and pump the gas . Smelled what smelled like burning , sure enough he opened the hood and there was smoke coming up from down below. It never did catch fire but it is still sitting in Dodge City because I didn't want to take any chances on burning up Mattie's car. Luckily my oldest son and his family live up there and his wife came and picked us up. She made me a pot of coffee (I love my daughter-in-law) to try to help me de-stress some. Samuel got up from his nap and took me to get groceries and brought us home. On a brighter note I did get some sweet kisses and Happy Birthdays from my other grand kids I don't get to see as often . I have missed my guys. So how has your day been today? Hopefully better than mine. Do you ever just want a day to be over?

Wow, good thing you noticed it before you started driving again, that could have been really bad with a full tank of gas. Happy Birthday on a good note though and at least you got to see your grand kids. Hope everything works out for the car.

Oh, that's awful. Sounds like someone is getting a new car (or some very expensive car repairs) for your birthday. At least you're safe. I've thankfully never had car trouble "in the middle of nowhere." And happy birthday anyway!!!
