Twice The Speed of Life

The past few days have been crazy for the Frashleys! In the midst of all the chaos, some total strangers were very kind to us.

We were going to Augusta, GA to fill out applications to work at The Augusta National Golf Course and we had a tire mishap. A nice man flagged us down on the interstate and motioned to us that we needed to pull over. He then pulled over in front of us on the side of the highway and told us we had a really flat tire. At first we wouldn't pay him any attention or pull over because we thought he might be some kind of pervert trying to pick us up. His name was Ivan and he was in a white work truck, so Ivan wherever you are: Thanks from the Frashleys.

The next person who helped us was a trucker who saw us struggling to attempt to air up my flattening tire. Neither one of us has ever had to air up a tire before so we were basically just standing by the car laughing. The trucker saw we didn't know what we were doing and came to our rescue. He also asked us if we were high because we were laughing so hard! We weren't. So Thanks from the Frashleys to the trucker who helped us at the BP at the Pillion exit.

Then, today we went to Wal-Mart off of Rosewood, near Sears and Target. I had put a can of Fix-A-Flat in my tire to get me to the Wal-Mart. Ashely followed me in her mustang just to be sure I got there okay. On the way there the Mustang over heated. We were both really stressed out when we got to the Wal-Mart. Gus in the car shop part of Wal-Mart was super nice to us. He put some coolant in the Mustang so Ashley would be able to drive it. Luckily, I had a warranty on the tires I bought at Wal-Mart about a year ago so I got a new tire for free.

In two days, three different strangers have shown kindness to the Frashleys. We both feel touched and felt that these men could have easily gone on about their days without taking time to notice we needed help. We also hope we can do something nice for someone one day in the spirit of these kind strangers.
