The Sunday snowfall
was still on the ground
this morning - Monday.
AND the sun was shining.
I think perhaps I have
been waiting for this - for
honestly, I like to seethe
snow. But, Walt took one
look and grumbled - "We
should have been 1,000
miles south of here by
now."
Snow has a lot of good
and bad memories for us.
Luckily - for me - the bad
things go to the back of
my mind and I have to
concentrate in.. order to
recall them, so I.don't .try
—too -harms
One, I recall, didn't
happen to us but to two
good friends - (and it isn't
a •-baddee) - happened
way out in Manitoba.
Friends, Don and Vickie,
had been to the base Rec
Hall or Mess - anyway,
there was a dandy party
and, it wasn't until the
wee hours that the -heavy
snowfall was discovered.
Father had partied too
much so- it was up to
mother to drive home.
She was new at -this - and
a little nervous. The area
was also new to her and
new the roads were being
covered quickly bythe
blizzard that was raging.
Nothing looked right
but . she set out with a
wave -.:and a laugh - • you
know Vicky! - and tried to
follow the fast disap-
pearing car tracks-
lDriving along blindly
(like under a blanket!),
suddenly everything went
BLACK! She' jammed on
the.brakes - but no impact
- nothing happened! She
shook • father, who was
sound asleep on the back
seat and after much
explaining, father
gingerly opened the door
of the Volks- and stepped
out.
After a lot of loud
noises and clawing
around, he returned to his
seat.
"Well," he said, "I've
seen , everything now! I
don't know how you
managed it but you're
smack dab in the middle
of a hay stack."
Well, that's not all -
they had to fight their
way back to civilization
and next day - wjth
helpers - had to jab all
those snow covered
mounds to find "The
Bug".
.Anyone who has lived
Martha
out on the Manitoba
prairie can appreciate
this dilemma but to us
Easterners, it took a bit
of explaining. But then, it
could only happen to
certain people, Don
believes.
So watch where you're
going this winter. You
might end up in a
blackout too.
Here's another thing
that comes with snow,
TOYS' - and what to buy.
and --what to give away. -
.Now, there are lots of
children who could enjoy
those toys that are being
relegated to the back of
the cupboard or the
bottom of the toy box.
I know that many of
them are still in pretty
good shape - those are the
ones that could go to the
TOY DROP - for the
many needy kids in this
area.
Now - I don't know of
any family who would
accept the .word - needy -
