Do you ever remember racing the kids to school or the bus stop in your dressing gown and hope to goodness the car doesn't break down?
Well it wasn't my dressing gown, NO SHOES.
A lady rang about the Family History Centre [ we are closed for the holidays]
After she hung up, I felt impressed to quickly put a sign up at the door of the Chapel to let people know the times we will open in Feb.
So I just dashed out the door, no shoes, it's only around the corner, in out of the
car, back home......no problem.............except the car didn't even make a sound.
Just dead..........' oh well, back into the Chapel, use the phone"
except.......I forgot we gave the old phone to DJ, the new one needed a connection to the wall! "Oh dear, try praying Pam"............inspiration!
Visit the neighbours, use their phone..........no one home.
Feet feeling a bit 'hot' by now crossing the road, walking over prickly grass.
Car getting very hot...........nothing left to do Pam......walk!
If the pioneers can cross the plains, you can walk around the block.....
In the scorching heat..........road is blistering.
I will probably laugh about it tomorrow, after my feet cool down. You can see it can't you, this silly old dame, walking, running, putting down some flyers [ thank goodness they were available. good old Woolworths.] to stand on when the road got to hot to run on.
Woodbridge Drive, never looked so good!
Oh my goodness.....and I bought the connection today for the phone....why didn't I have my antenna up...we usually cross all barriers in the do do do do do area !!!!
