Only 200 Miles To Go.....(or is it?)


After finishing up with the cookie series, we headed to Austin to hunt down Baby Bear's Bevo and Oakwood Cemetery by Gingercat.

We found the one by Gingercat first. This was a great stamp and it's in quite a unique hiding place. It was great fun to find this hidden treasure. After rehiding, we headed to another part of Austin to find Bevo.

BB and I easily found the stamp. We were once again in awe of Baby Bear and his carving skills. We packed up our things and began to head South towards San Antonio, but before we got out of the parking lot...we had a flat tire. OH NO! BB turned the car around and we got to work. BB's car is fairly new, so we've never had to change the tire on this car and had a bit of trouble with part of it. I enlisted the help of a very nice young man who came to our rescue. Mystery guy helped us not only take the hub cap off, but finished up the job, too. After we thanked him over and over again, we headed south and hoped to find a garage who would repair the tire. We got just a few miles down the road and found a Sam's Club. BB whipped out her Sam's card and the gentlemen got to work on our poor pancake of a tire. While we waited inside in the technology section, the tech. sales person asked us if we needed any help. We politely told him, "no thanks", but inquired as to about how far we were from San Antonio, our final destination. He replied with, "Oh, it's about 200 miles." WHAT???!?!?! 200 MILES FROM AUSTIN TO SAN ANTONIO?? I'm not sure he understood the question.
