The whole move down here has gone so smooth but I think I do need to say that golfcarting has been a challenge. 1st it started off with the gas cart at our rental. It died twice and in the shop a week at a time the 1st month we were there. Lucky for us (actually for me since I was the one mainly using it at the time) they were both short distance trips in the early day. But now we are onto our "New-To-Us" electric golfcart and further distances to travel.
I think it was early last week when we were finally settled down in our new home enough that we felt we could go for a leisurely family outing one evening. We thought we'd go to Sweet Bay and grocery shop. 2 miles from home and the sun had already set and the cart...well, what rhymes with cart? The cart yarted on us. Just one big yart and stopped. Yart. Kaput. People came to our rescue, many stopped to see if they thought they could help, some just wanted to say how theirs yarted once. But $50 later, we were towed home and the cart exchanged the next morning by Jim Fallowell and his son, both who are very nice and responsive (who we bought the cart from).
Yesterday we got the cart back, charged it up as instructed, off we go because Dan is a happy camper to have his electric cart back, off on a romantic evening to LSL. And again...YART! Same thing as before. Immediately, right behind us is a gentleman who says: "Where do you live? I'll tow you home!" And he did. And how nice. And Jim F is sorry and will make right tomorrow, on Thanksgiving Day. What this long drawnout story is all about is about how wonderful people are, how helpful and kind. We have most everything going so well for us except this one piece, important, yes, but we know it will eventually get worked out. But all through this, people have been so nice and so helpful and I'm just thankful that it's this way. And if anyone was at the Stillwater intersection where this couple was trying to figure out how to get to the other side of the road and made an illegal turn and got yelled at by some motorists, I apologize. We'll hopefully never do it again, but I can't make any promises.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
