Not exactly as planned!

Right after breakfast, I got the trailer hooked up to the Blazer and we headed for Longview to pick up the counter tops.  I had a list of other things to pick up first so we headed to Fred Meyer for my snacks (I love their yogurt raisins and  peanut butter malted milk balls).  Then we stopped at Lowe's for some storage shelves to put in the new cabinet.  Last on our list was the counter tops at Home Depot, that went great and we were on our way in nothing flat.  We went up I5 toward home and just before we got to Rocky Point, the Blazer died, no bad noises, just quit running!  I pulled off the road and it would not start (this was one time that "Silence is Golden" is not a good thing!), so I called AAA and got a tow on the way.  Then I called Mik, no answer on his cell or at home ( it turned out he was at a funeral and could not answer), then I called Bev and woke her up.  She had a 2 inch ball and could come pick up the trailer and Vera.  Mik called shortly after that, but Bev was already on the way.  When she got there, we got the trailer hooked to Debbie's pickup and then Bev came around to open the door for Vera and some how the keys got locked in the truck.  Bev called Debbie to come and unlock it.  Just as Debbie got there, so did Carl's Towing.  Bev, Vera and Debbie headed out and I rode with the wrecker as they took the Blazer home.  I am going to finish the cabinet job before I look at it.  After we got home and got all unhooked, we had a nice visit with Bev, while we were talking Jackie called.  She is still at the University of Washington hospital, but it looks like they are getting her blood sugar straightened out and she may get to go home early next week.  After Bev left and we had dinner, I put the new shelves together and Vera has started filling them.
The day did not go quite as expected, but everything turned out OK!
