Glad you have it....I love the picture of your Mom. Glad you have it. :-) <BR/><BR/>I'm also glad that you didn't panic when you got stuck. I live in California now, but I have my share of winter stories beause I lived in Minnesota, North Dakota, New York, New Hampshire most of my life.<BR/><BR/>In hindsight, one of my most idiotic moments was as a 9 or 10-year-old. I had never gone ice-skating and was thrilled to find a pair of ladies ice skates in our attic. <BR/><BR/>My friends wanted to go skating at a little pond about 3/4 mile through woods near our house. For some unknown reason, I laced on the skates and walked out of the house. By the time we got to the pond, I could hardly walk. It didn't occur to me that I was walking in size 8 (adult) boot. Ouch. I tried to skate...but finally gave up. My friends decided to head home, and my ankles hurt so bad that I couldn't keep up. So what does a nine-year-old do??? Off with the skates. I walked barefoot for 3/4 of a mile. Couldn't feel my feet, but I wasn't about to tell my friends that I was being a baby. <BR/><BR/>I'm 40 years old now, and my Mom STILL gets upset at me about this. A person really can be grounded for life. ;-)hopalong682003https://www.blogger.com/profile/03402622861874478950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742650874369129320.post-8547225283816859272008-03-09T17:47:00.000-05:002008-03-09T17:47:00.000-05:00I haven't any bitter weather stories (I'm from Mis...I haven't any bitter weather stories (I'm from Missouri for pity sakes).

The earliest I remember was when I was 5.<BR/><BR/>My dad had some, too. I guess maybe we all do. The year before I came to live with dad and mom though he was working on his old truck on a day when it was about 9 degrees. The hood fell and caught his arm and he couldn't free himself. Mom finally found him after 4+ hours. The heat from the engine kept him warm enough.<BR/><BR/>The image of your mom is really wonderful and I so appreciate you sharing it.<BR/><BR/>Blessings.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343169479240819918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742650874369129320.post-34885370188563201682008-03-08T15:23:00.000-06:002008-03-08T15:23:00.000-06:00Annie, I'm glad you didn't freeze to death hanging...Annie, I'm glad you didn't freeze to death hanging onto that handle! That's scary. And I can't believe that you used to commute from there to the Cities. I thought I had a long commute! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing the picture of your Mom. She looks so peaceful with her baby. My Mom has a teddy bear that she hugs at night too. Hugs to you and your mom (and the animals). Stay warm! I'm so tired of this cold and ready for spring.rilerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03575145654738200419noreply@blogger.com
