Email of the Day:

And the Email of the Day award once again goes to my lovely mother, who just gets better:

"Dear Darla, Nothing new, just miss talking with you! I just read about the fires around L.A.; hope you are far from any of them; take extra vitamin C and other vitamins.

Come visit us if things get worse where you live!

Your Dad had a scary accident on the way home yesterday--he hit a patch of black ice in the Pathfinder before he could put on the 4-wheel drive. He spun all over the road then off it sideways, down a hill about 100 feet without rolling, through a barbed wire fence. He drove with the 4-wheel drive through snow to a nearby ranch house where the owner had just arrived. He offered to pay for the fence, but the man said it belonged to the Fed. govt.--he was happy he had told him so he could check his livestock and make sure none had gotten out. When your Dad got back to the place he went off, there were a truck and boat which had been off before him, a semi, a van on it's top, 2 ambulances and several highway patrol cars. He thought sure he was going to roll, but is fine, the car has a hundred or so scratches from the wire--whew! Thank the Lord he was O.K. He had been fitted with stuff for sleep apnea testing, had tape and wires from his finger and neck, figured the rancher must have wondered what that was about. His heart meds kept him from feeling fear or anxiety, since they slow down his heart and block adrenaline--don't know if that's good or not. So, a quiet Saturday--and I am tired and think I will hit the sack--love you, sweetie, punkin' pie darling! Lots of love, Mom
