Angels arrived at our door instead of the rapture that was predicted.
Paul and I took our RV to Sibbald point. Enroute we had some issues - at first I thought we had caught fire. It smelt horrible and smoke was coming from our wheel well. We let things cool and tried to take off again - this time our RV sounded like a tank. We still had 22 kms to go. What to do. It is 9:00pm and Paul decided to continue and look for a repair location tomorrow. As we drove we past Nicholson Truck and Coach and Paul said we should stop by there tomorrow. As he drove past I noticed the lights were still on and the bay doors were open. Paul turned around and we went in. Matthew and Brent, two young guys, were there working on some other vehicles. They jumped under the RV and assessed the issue. They did not have the appropriate part but were able to fix the RV so we could get on our way. After close to 45 minutes labour from both the guys - they would not accept payment!! They said we had a rough start already and just to go and enjoy our camping. Paul tried giving each of them money and neither would take it. Just incredible generosity from two young men!!! Our angels!!
This set the tone for the weekend. We were fortunate to have an amazing campsite, Trillums blooming everywhere, a masked bandit who stayed up a tree long enough for him to bare his fangs at me before running down the tree and away, and mutated dandelions that looked like glow pods at dusk.
Our angels ensured that our weekend was one of heaven on earth. Thanks again Matthew and Brent and Nicholson Truck and Coach!!! Thank you for renewing our faith in mankind, before mother nature renewed our energy for life!!
