stories blowin’ in the wind :)

  • High winds!
  • Grabbed the door from my hands when I went outside
  • Made what was my carefully combed hair a literal “wind blown hairdo”
  • At the grocery store, parked next to the huge cart storage racks…
  • …had a snug exit from the car alongside the racks, could only open the car door with enough room to get out…but I made it!
  • After shopping and returning to get back into the car, lo and behold, I noticed that there was at least 3 or 4 times as much room between the car and the storage racks…weird…
  • …Then it became spooky…the car hadn’t moved, everything was intact, had locked it…then how did that huge cart rack move away?!  There were no carts in it…the wind?…someone from the store moving it?….hmmmm….sspppoooookkky :)
  • And that’s not all, when I backed out of the parking space, the cart I had placed in the rack blew out and rolled toward us, gently hitting a front headlight…did it not want us to leave?  And it’s not even Halloween :)
  • Grateful that nothing was damaged!
  • Let’s Count Our Blessings!
