Long story, but she and DH finally found a place in Massachusetts last night, and they didn't have the part, but the guy was able to piece things together enough for her to get her up to Maine. She wouldn't wait to leave in the morning, so she didn't get in til around 2 this morning.
Meanwhile, DS had gone downtown to a concert with his friends, and one of them had car trouble too, so he didn't get home 'til around 1:30. Needless to say, it was a rather sleepless night here! Thank heaven for cell phones!
