When the Angels Whisper....Listen....

I called Dale, this morning, to see if he and Dan headed for Nebraska, last night....Oh yes... they did... As they hit the Nebraska line, they hit a monster snow drift, got stuck, and spent 9 hours, waiting for help, to get out...They got no sleep, when help arrived this morning, they hooked up a chain, to the sway bar, on the van, and broke it, clean off... then they had to wait for another tow vehicle, to come and pull them out sideways....They kept the van running all night, in cold weather, {25 below wind chill} diesels need to plugged in, they don't start when it's cold.... Dale was afraid of the diesel fumes, so he left his window down, and his pop was frozen...that's how cold the van was, all night...{ he thought about 20 degrees} Oh my.... I am sooo thankful those little Angels talked me into sitting this one out...He said that 25 dealers had cancelled, I don't know how many will be there. I'm thankful no one got hurt... He said his van and trailer were 3 to 4 feet higher, perched in that drift... He tried to dig his way out, but it was so cold, he could hardly breathe... And after seeing it in the daylight, there was no way, he could have ever dug his way out.... So with no sleep, they got to the show, and have their booth set... I hope they sell some stuff... Ahhh, the life of an Antique Dealer... I, on the other hand, spent the day in the lazy boy, I didn't take Sunday off, this week, so with the crumby weather, I decided, I'd take the day off... Watched movies, ate m&m's, and kept my feet up! My little Ford is in the shop, {clutch issues} so we both had a break, today... I'll be working in the shop tomorrow. My prayers are with the guys, and hope they have a very uneventful journey home.... Barb C.
