Yesterday afternoon our phone rang. It was the daughter of one of Grammy's friends. She had just received a phone call from an officer (He really worked for the Dept. of Agriculture as a special investigator) who assisted the friend's mother and Grammy.
The story goes: After eating at the Center Grammy and this friend headed to Walmart. The friend drove and as they got into town, she missed an exit. She proceeded to find another one to get them back to the correct road. In the process, they ended up going the wrong way on the road. Because of the center median, they could not get across to their correct lane except by crossing over. The friend started to do that when they noticed flashing lights behind them. The officer was trying to stop them and prevent any accidents. He had received the call to help since he was the closest to the situation.
They had met a vehicle or two while going the wrong way. Thank the Lord that He was with them and protecting them. A terrible accident could have easily happened.
The daughter called us to go rescue them. Mel called the officer to see where they were and inform him we were on our way. We found the terribly shaken Grammy and friend. I drove the friend's car and Mel drove ours.
The friend needed her medicine and to do some banking business. After doing the errands we did get them safely home.
After the initial fright we did have to laugh - the 86 and 90 year old ladies and their episode. How thankful we are that no one was hurt!
