month.)
The would-be travellers took on the
various kitchen chores, the better half
joining the dishwashing team, which
included a Swiss visitor who was in the
area on a pig-buying trip and with
whom she enjoyed a lengthy chat.
The afternoon was spent watching a
few vehicles attempting to move along
the highway or listening to tales of a
few stragglers who had arrived after
eight-hour trips from Toronto. The
exception was a brave, young soul who
had arrived for a dance. He’d made the
trip in just over average time in an
ticipation of his date, which of course
was all cancelled out anyway.
By late afternoon, a few headed out
to reach their original destinations,
much to the chagrin of their new
friends. There was talk about taking
out insurance policies, leaving the
names of loved ones to be notified, etc.,
etc.
As supper arrived, the culinary
abilities of four of our storm-stayed
comrades became evident. They had
taken shelter at the motel after being
unable to get home from the night shift
at Macdonald’s and so they walked
over and turned out a few bags of
hamburgs,
A couple of ladies who had been
enroute to Sarnia and were taking
some treats with them, donated their
pot of stew and large cake and again
everyone enjoyed a bountiful meal at
no cost whatever.
Around 8:00 p.m. a tow truck finally
arrived to take us out to haul in the van,
one of the 19 which had been hauled
from its snowy lair in the four hours
they had been back in business and our
trip east to Shakespeare indicated that
there were still close to 10 to be hoisted
from their resting places in the snow.
At 10:30 we received a call from our
good Samaritan in Exeter and he was
on the scene in about an hour to haul
the Battens away from the Festival
City.
As the Bard wrote: Blow, blow, thou
winter wind!
Wonder if he wrote that on April 6?
