1 had been dowe toren to do
my week -end shoppin., and was
canting hence .lust after dark.
The ear didn't stent to he run-
nnhg too well bot 1 thought it
would get Inc hone And then,
just a quarter -mile from our
own gate, right on the S bend
of our busy highway it -gave
up the ghost and- quit After
vain attempts at persuasion 1
hailed a pasting car and got a
-ride home, leaving the ear with
its parking lights an. A phone
call, a tow truck, and my car
was safely in our own garage.
Monday morning a mechanic
was to conte Inc'the ear as it
was thought the fuel pump was
out of commission. But alas,
conte Monday ,horning a storm
blew In from the east — wet,
driving snow — so, no mechanic.
Then, while Partner was still
at the barn that morning a
truck came in and dumped a
load Of gravel in the driveway,
just where 1 back the car out.
True, the gravel had been or-
dered but we didn't specify deli-
very on a stormy day? Because
of the sudden storm Partner
had extra work to do at the
barn -heifers to put in that had
been running out, and a dozen
other little "weather" chores so
he did not have time to spread
the gravel immediately. After
being extra busy all day, at
live o'clock while he was doing
the night chores out Went all

Cows balked at going into •e

they all had to be milked by
hand. Some farm'l's eliclta't even
have a lantern to fall back on
and used flashlights or else
turned thole car lights on to the
stable. But why every farmer
doesn't keep lamps and lanterns
handy 'll never know.
Tuesday was cold and bright
-- and our pile of gravel was
frozen solid. Wednesday it be-
gan to blow and at night the
temperature dropped to ten be-
low zero. Thursday it was still
snowing and biowhlg, with no
relief in sight. Partner put on
more clothes and more elotltes,
The lane was Meng in fast and
each morning we wondered if
the truck would get In for the
milk. Somehow or other, each
day it made the grade.
My biggest worry was getting
back and forth to the mail -box,
for it is a long trek .from the
house to the road, facing the
wind and shoving through the
snow. Two days in succession
Partner said it wasn't lit for the
to go and went after it himself.
And was I gladt We had to snake
two trips a day as there was

bring home — also bread and a
few other things left in our box.

So that was our series of mis-
haps for one week, Why every-
thing had to happen at once 1
don't know. However, it is a
fair sample of the extra work
involved when a sudden storm
blows up, And yet, away from
the country, how quickly a per. -
son forgets. For instance, Dee
happened to phone one day and
was quite surprised that we
were having trouble. And Bob
didn't phone at all. Yes, it is
sometimes quite a life — but
even at that we don't know of
any that we would like better
