Trailer Trash Too

My mother left a message on the answering machine, "I hope you haven't been in any ditches, someone else has taken over that chore." She went on to explain that my sister slid her truck into a ditch, this past week. The guy at the garage is getting to know her pretty well, because he's also the one who came out, as first responder, when she lost parts of her fingers to the lawnmower.

I called my mother, today, and we both feel we are very lucky that our electricity hasn't been disrupted, due to snow and ice. She said they did have a broken water line, earlier this year. She went into the kitchen and water was spewing all over. Luckily, my father was able to fix it.
