Inside My Mind

First need to send out a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY! to the most beautiful little girl in the world...my granddaughter...Dylan! Dylan is 3 today! Love you, sweetheart!

Oh the joys of winter. The slipping. The sliding. The ditches. Yes, the ditches. Coming home or rather attempting to come home last night after running karaoke at the Sullivan American Legion, the corner a block from the post became a nightmare. Turning ever so slowly made no difference. The Olds ended up hitting a concrete culvert, putting a hole in the radiator and getting stuck in a rather deep drainage ditch.

I had only driven one block. I was making a turn onto Main Street to continue south. The snow and ice determined I was going no farther at that moment. Thanks to the kindness of strangers with a 4-wheel drive truck, the Olds was eventually pulled from the ditch. I managed to go the 5 blocks or so and park the car at Mom's.

The Toyota we bought last week is still being repaired. This leaves us motorless. Iohn has to work this evening and the next 5 days. We are in Dugger, in the cornfield, while work is 10 miles away in Sullivan.

I am sure we will manage and survive. We always do. Of course help and a watching hand and eye from above doesn't hurt. Having family that cares and understand is also a boon.

Bill went out last night to help us. Jeremy, my nephew, came and brought us back to Dugger. Mom made hot chocolate. We were unhurt and unscathed...expect for my pride.

Yes...ah...winter...gotta love it!
