It’s been a while since I entered anything here. Never fear, I’m still doing things
Last night I passed out dinner at a homeless shelter with some volunteers from my sister’s choir group. It went so well. We worked well together, cleaned as we went, each had a little job to do and it was a great experience. Several of the ladies handmade batches of chicken-pot-pie. And everyone seemed to love it! Children came back for seconds and thirds! It was a good time with many smiling faces and grateful hearts.
On a different note, my wife rescued another dog about a week ago. A little black Chihuahua. One might ask, good grief how many dogs do you have!?!? Four. And it’s all good.
But to the point of bringing this up. Since my daughter has “grown up” and moved out I have been blue. No children in the house. But this little guy has lightened the heavy weight in my heart and filled a void that I needed filled. I love that little guy. It was providence I think that she bring this dog home and I am grateful

I had a feel good morning.
It had snowed all night last night and I head out pretty early, usually before the snow plows, and I was on my way to work. Going down through a mountain pass called Cowan's Gap I saw a car that had slid off the side of the road. It was on my side of the road and facing me so I figured it had to be a pretty good slide!
Normally I wouldn't think too much about it but as I slowly passed I noticed someone setting in the car. It's cold and I don't figure anyone, even tow trucks, will be around for quite some time. I slowed to a stop and backed up.
Rolling down my window the face of a "concerned" young girl looked out at me. To be fair, she was probably 20ish but when you get as old as me (ancient ) most people under 30 look pretty young LOL She explained how she was trying to pull over to do something, I never really understood what it was she was trying to do, and lost control and slid off the road. Fortunately it was in a n area where she missed all the trees. There is no shoulder on this particular stretch of road cutting through the forest in between two mountains. She was heading to work and a bit upset at the whole situation. I made sure she was alright and then told her that we should be able to get her car back on the road so she could get moving again.
Most of my chains are at home, but I always keep a little something in the truck. It's an old Dodge, rear wheel drive... I probably have no business driving around in snow in this truck but it has done right by me so far
Long story short, we got it done. Tied on to a sway bar I found deep underneath the car and backed her right up the way she went in. And she was vary appreciative. I told her not to worry about it and be safe.
While this was going on a guy in a Nissan frontier pulled up and offered to help. He pushed and help talk her through what to do as I eased the car back onto the road. The whole thing went pretty smoothly. I thanked him for his help and we smiled and went back on our way.
I was only a few minutes late for work. And due to the bad weather I still managed to beat most my coworkers in! So all in all, a pretty good morning
I will close with this public announcement...
Roads are not always as safe as they seem. Drive to conditions please. And if you can, stop and lend a hand.
Y'all have a safe and wonderful day
I forgot to add this, but i feel it is important to mention...
While I was talking to her, after I confirmed she was okay, I told her that most likely it would take a tow truck to get her car out. And of course she looked sadden by that news. I said, " I just don't know if I can pull it out with the roads the way they are and as far off the road as the car is."
And a little voice spoke inside my head, "sure you can!" I know that voice. It's the one that always seems to urge you to do the difficult thing or the thing you don't really want to do. So without questioning it I told her, " you know what, we can get your car out." And then it all went smoothly to the plan that developed in my head.
I'm not going to tell anyone what the voice was or why I know to trust it. But I do.
