Kingman AZ

Our arrival in Kingman, AZ came with an unexpected breakdown. Luckily for us, David Steffen saw smoke coming from the trailer tires and waved us down. We had no clue. He thought the brakes locked but John saw it was a lost bearing. David and his mom and dad, not only stayed around to help, they ran to the store for tools while John and I ran to pick up parts. This entire ordeal took about 3 hours and they stuck with us the entire time. Even offered to let John shower at their house. Wouldn’t take a dime from us. OMG how lucky/blessed can you get? I can’t believe there are such wonderful people out there.

We finally made it to our destination 3.5 hours later than anticipated but, we were safe. We had some leftover tacos and went to bed. John had trouble sleeping because he couldn’t stop thinking about the bearing because he could not get a new race or new drum when he bought the bearing. I don’t know what he is talking about but, we spent the day finding the right parts and then he actually found a place that pressed the old races out and replaces the whatever it was we needed. All John had to do was put it all back together and we were set. And now he has another set just in case. That meant we only had time to visit a couple quilt stores that day.

This was Donna’s Quilt Store and I bought this beautiful Hummingbird panel. I just told Bridget she needs to order this because I want to make more than one quilt with this. Sorry I did not take a picture of the other store. I bought fabric but from the outside I thought it looked like an antique store and thought maybe the quilt store went out of business.

We opted to order out last night but everything seemed to be chain restaurants so we got Indian food. It was a hole in the wall place, Brothers Indian that was highly recommended in Yelp and it was delicious. On the way home we had some beautiful sunset views. The last one is looking outside our camper door.
