Tuesday Tale: They say Necessity is the .....

Mother of invention 

FYI this TRUE TALE is proof positive.

I promise it is the last post I'll show of snow

BUT trust me it is gonna tickle your funny bone.

Often when the peeps leave I take up my sentry post from the guest bed this window looks

out onto the driveway.

 During the last few weeks of February we had sleet, snow,

ice and freezing temperatures all with in a few days of each other. All this made our driveway and front yard nearly impassable!!!

That is unless you are very clever...and my peeps are.

This picture shows very little white stuff but what you see is

ice and it is solid.  Mom and Dad needed to go to buy groceries...

they had to get to Gracie at the bottom of the driveway.

But they can't ice skate so they did the next best thing

they used their noggins to think of a safe way down

Dad had already fallen on the ice earlier.

They used a pitch fork and a golf umbrella as their anchors to walk down through the ice to the grass. Before they left

Mom thought to herself... how will we get the groceries back up to the porch.

Easy peasy...they took to laundry baskets and two bungee cords

to the car when they left.  

 When they got back home with the groceries they loaded the

groceries in the baskets and pulled them up the hill with the 

bungee cords in one hand and the pitchfork and the golf umbrella in the other hand

Nobody fell...they got the groceries in the house

FRIENDS I'M SORRY TO SAY I DID NOT GET ACTUAL PICTURES...I HAVE BEEN HOPING ONE OF THE NEIGHBORS DID AND WOULD OFFER TO SHARE BUT TO DATE
