| Theodore and Tammy |
It was my intention to
take my van with me, when I leave NYC, for it is not convenient for
me to drive the large camper to and from certain places. However in
order for me to take my van along I needed a tow-bar, which is the
easiest mean of traveling with two vehicle. I checked the prices and
discovered that a tow-bars which is used to tow cars
and average vehicles, has a five thousand pound towing capacity and
they are affordable; unfortunately, my van is over ten thousand
pounds and therefore I needed a tow-bar of that or higher capacity.
Tow-bars with a ten thousand pounds or higher capacity, ranged in price: from five
hundred to several thousand dollars.
So I decided to check the
internet for used tow-bars. Since there were no tow-bars in my area,
I decided to look for tow-bars in those states I must pass through on
my way to pick up RV. Fortunately, I discovered a used heavy duty tow
bar in Maryland.
On the evening of the Monday 2nd,
December, 2013, I showed up to the address I was given, there I met, a
man, who introduced himself as Ted, He showed me the tow-bar we speak about on the phone; he
also took the time to explained its features to me; Ted, provided most of
the information I needed to know about the tow-bar and its safe usage.
I paid for the tow-bar
and I put the apparatus in the van. While I was getting into the van to leave, Theodore (Ted) asked me if I will
like something to drink. I had a long way to go and I did not want to
be held back, but I could not reject the worm hospitable gesture that
came from this helpful and kind gentle man. After Ted
named a range of drinks, I settled for a glass of milk.
On invitation, I entered Ted's beautiful home and Ted and I sat down to a glass of milk. While I
was having my milk, Ted insisted that I have a turkey sandwich, but
before I could refused he got up moved over the fridge took out the
container in which they kept the turkey and placed it on the table in front of me.
He offered me rolls and vegetables for the sandwich.
While Ted and I were
about an hour into our conversation, a woman appear from one of the
rooms in the back of the two story house, she had a white cotton
stylish poncho draped over her outfit. Ted introduced the lady as
Tammy: his wife.
Although she did not say
it, I guessed Tammy became concerned after she heard Ted in a prolong
conversation with a man who was a total stranger, in their home. The
knife with which I cut the turkey, was sitting on the Turkey dish, on the table between Ted and I. Tammy's first order was to removed the
knife from the table; an instinctive cautionary measure. After which she
joined the conversation which went on for four hours. When it was
time to go, the couple insisted that I took some fruits with me;
however I reluctantly took an apple.
Theodore and Tammy have
been married for thirty years, the couple have one daughter and three
grandchildren.
This was another awesome
couple and for me another beautiful experience.
