Being a Good Servant
I am not one who believes in working on Sundays, but I know that some people have to work and that's okay; however, Don was unable to attend our church service this morning due to our elderly (in thier 80's) neighbors who tried to leave the park yesterday (and Don is the first one ready for church here). The husband has macular degeneration and had to give up driving and his wife has to do all the driving now (She cannot drive at night). Don went out to help hook up the car for them and when they were ready to go the RV wouldn't start. The mechanic serving their insurance company didn't arrive until after 9 last night and he just put a hot wire on the starter so they could start it this morning (He was located on the Miami and said it would take him 3 hours to arrive). This morning, when Don went out to hot wire the RV, the lights wouldn't come on: no lights, no signal lights; no step, etc. He and our other neighbor worked on it for hours as good servants, located the problem, but were unable to fix it. I think they said some new fuses or something was needed and this would cost $3,000! Fortunately, the unit is still under warranty so there should not be such a tremendous cost for them. I truly feel sorry for this couple. They have at least pulled the unit out of the street and onto the grass parking lot in front of the office until something can be done tomorrow. I guess the time comes when we are just too old and have too many physical problems to handle big motorcoaches. I think they need to downsize now or maybe buy a condo. This is why Don says we should go and see the world while we are able.
