Our original plan was to get the battery out, with one forgotten tool, we were onto plan B, jump start. Minus one set of jumper cables and a run to Advance Auto Parts to purchase said jumper cables we were back in business? After popping the hood on my car (which has a cover for everything) we located the battery cover to reveal an awkwardly placed battery with no access to the negative cable. How can this be we asked ourselves, thank God for Google, and a quick video viewing we were back on track. With a red to red and black to black we had the cables in place, we let it sit for a few minutes, and with a turn of the key success!! We had errands to run and would be back.
Turns out we were no match for a completely dead battery, though we fought valiantly. We learned important lessons though and can now jump a battery like it's our job.
Which brings us to Thanksgiving itself, but I have to backtrack a few days first. Earlier in the week our poor dad who is never ever sick and does not miss work, caught a nasty case of the stomach flu and missed the three days of work we had this week, so we decided to move Thanksgiving to Sunday when we have a family photo scheduled. But who could expect all that food to wait, we had rolls from the Beef House just calling our name, so we ate those yesterday. And the turkey was basically all done, so we ate that today. We still have pies to enjoy tomorrow though, but the weather will be warmer so we decided to grill out instead. So there you have it, the story of how this years Thanksgiving because a slightly abbreviated and drawn out event!
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you braved the stores yesterday I hope you found lots of savings!
