The trees were even droopier this morning as the snow piled down as tho it were snowing in Vancouver...You know...those big fluffy flacons that make your previous shovelling efforts disappear in ten minutes. Emil left right in the middle of the biggest snowflake deluge,around 7:30 am. At 8:30, he was on the phone to me, saying he was waiting for the tow-truck, as the car(Dynasty) ( with him in it) spun out at four mile.
I asked if he was ok, and he said he was. No other cars involved so that was good...and so he was still on his way to work.
When I drove in, I nearly drove off the road myself when I saw the tracks in the snowbank at the edge of the road...yes, he failed to mention it was at the LAKE side of the road! In fact, it looked like he was the car was in teeter -totter position.
And tonight,the real story came out...the car did a 360* and was heading straight for the bank going down to the lake...no houses here, just lake. He checked to see if his seatbelt was on, and felt relieved that it was as the car spun out of control. He thought it was t*ts up, but due to the huge amount of snow lately, the undercarriage of the car got hung up on the snow at the banks edge. So there he was ,at a crazy angle with the nose of the car and one side,balanced so nicely. His first thought,as he peered out the windshield at the lake below, was "Should I move?" He decided it was in his best interest to try to get the heck out of the car before someelse came sliding off the road.
So all in all, he was very lucky that he never ended up doing a Polar bear dip.
The car is fine and so is he... and needless to say, I drove into work very carefully. The roads were quite ugly...snow,slush, slop and ice and freezing rain coming down. Not a good blend at all.
Oh, did I mention that the RCMP gave him a little blue warning to put winter tires on the back wheels...He has seven days to do it, but they are already on the car now!
I cam home from work and shovelled a ton of the wet stuff, hardly able to push it more than a couple of feet! Silky had a blast ,jumping for snowballs and then crashing the big snowball that I rolled, into a million pieces. She seems o havve a little destructive streak in her! She had fun while I sweated!
Last night, Leah had her PArtylite party that she booked from me, and it was fun. Her and Rubin ( Wendy 's son) live in a cute little house that they have fixed up very nicely. Leah did so well with the party, that she is interested in selling Partylite now, in Nelson! They have no consultants in Nelson, so she could find a good little niche here.
Thus she needs to book six parties in the next couple of weeks...Anyone interested in having a party for her? There is lovely new product with some great Hostess specials, incuding an Aromatheraputic burner, for $11.95.
There are new scents and many beautiful new candles in little hurricane jars which make for a great gift,as they can be used indoors or out.They sell between 29.95 and 35.00.
Okey dokey...time for early bed tonight. I was up way way too late last night, putting in my own order for 2nd Nature,as I sold some of that at the party also.
Have a good one...don't strain anything if you are shovelling!
