Tow Terror!

This "shadow" image is...transmission fluid which ran out of my car!!!
Max & I had been to Brass Town Bald...when we hit the main hwy. again...bout 50', all of a sudden blk smoke came thru my right side vent & icy water began drippin on my feet. UGH! It scared the beegeezzers out of me!! So I luckily was only a few more feet from a Citgo station. Pulled into there & quickly exited the car...didn't know if it was gonna blow up, catch fire of WTH! A woman on site got down on the ground & said a hose was totally detached...there was fluid running frm the side, all the way behind the car....:(  :(  So....there we were stranded..called roadside assistance & the pix below is the results....
This happened Sat. afternoon. Tow truck finally picked up my "baby" Sun. afternoon....:(  :(
So, Lamar drove to Blairsville, picked us up & brought us home.


My poooooor  "baby" got left behind in Blairsville and I had to leave her for repairs....booooohoooo  


It was one of the most awful,upsettin,mind-bogglin experiences of my life! We were blessed to have wonderful people @ Citgo who opened their hearts to Max&me and gave all the assistance they could muster.


Note: The Citgo is @ Buggar Hollow!!!!!!!!!!hehehehe  There are a lot of Buggar Hollow roads out on 129 S.


Have to grab a laugh wherever I can on this one....

LIFE Lessons .....Learning Again !!

Image
This blog is a confession and statement of "new" learning for me. The "darkness" of an "acute" illness, and the healing from that, has been a reality check in full measure! I'm a Believer. I'm one who praises God, prays all the time, and am confident of the Love of my Father. That statement made -- I am still filled w/human nature and it's quircks! We all get "comfortable" in our everyday lives and routines. Well. Mine has been blown apart w/this "healing" process.!! It's going much more slowly than I would desire, and so much seems more difficult, and "lost" a bit. There are books written, quotes out there, and we all kinda believe --don't sweat the "small" stuff. Pfffft! It's the "small" stuff that's giving me such tough issues right now. Go figure! Examples: energy to "move" and do my everyday routines; insecurity/discomfort w/the thought of driving a car (not

the "REST OF THE STORY"......

Image
I did soooo Love Paul Harvey. His stories were always so interesting.....and, he researched to bring a story to an often unknown ending. The "rest of the story" always let ya know.....the circle was closed on that topic for him. In that fashion....I wanted to do this blog. I love photography. I'm quite a happy amateur! Now, with Pinterest I get to see unlimited talent. This picture was one that "drew me in"....After I pinned it.....there were like 30+ other people who loved it too! This picture received the most pins on my boards. Just look at it....Never did try to track down the photographer. Only went as far as where the pin originated. Browsing pinterest boards is a fun pastime. I enjoy "following" pictures/quotes and such as far as I dare. In browsing.....I "fell into" a site. The photographer is TIMOTHY WALKER. A very eclectic range of photos. Behold! There was this picture among them. I gasped! (He has several other photos
