Everyone was caught in the slipnslide starting Friday mid-morning. We ventured out for a warm breakfast & found ourselves scurrying back home before the dangerous freeze set in for the day. Many on the roads traveling later were not as lucky. Prayers for them.
This morning started withJim creeping out to the car to try to perform some deicing maneuvers. He did accomplish some maneuvers alright. He informed me I missed his Pirouette on ice escapade before I exited the house.😄
I almost dropped from laughing. Then that brought back memories from my youth.
Mom & Dad had taken the family down to the local Firestone Store. Back in the day they were quite the store for a multitude of items. As we exited the store with our newly purchased snow boots we all slid in great form to the car. Dad was grabby each one of us kids as we swirled past him. He thrung us toward the car door and we dove inside. As Dad entered and prepared to start the car, he looked over towards the passenger's side with expectation of Mother being there. He wailed back to the kid section, Where is your Mother? All of the kids replied in unison, "She is not here Dad!" He gets out of the car mumbling "Well she was here when we started out of the store." As he rounded the corner of the passenger's side of the car he see Mother stuck halfway under the car. Not saying a word and shocked from the slide maneuver. He helped her inside the car as we all laughed. Her description of her Pirouette moment was a favorite story at many family reunions.
Stay warm & safe!
