This just in from my mom's lifelong friend, who lives alone (except for the dogs) and suffered a stroke a while back. We sure were worried for her! I had left her an e-mail message from Day 1: Are you safe???
Look at the goodness people showed her all the way up.
Thank God you are all OK. ME AND MY 4 DOGS DROVE UP HERE TO oHIO BECAUSE MY NIECE HERE PHONED ME to come and bring them with me. People were so good to us. God's angels took the shape( the major ones I remember) of a very pretty middle aged black woman who had a cattle ranch and got us gas to continue north.
There was a frightened farm lady who allowed me to use the bathroom but seemed uncertain about what a woman would be travelling alone with so strange a lot of dogs. There was a disrepitable white man who had been mugged at the l,ast rest area but had his cell phone and was able to contact his boss. While he was waiting for his boss to come he saw me
struggling with 4 confused and sisable dogs. He called a highway rescue group and brought themn to me. They made it possible for me to get to a nearby Quality Inn Which accepted me and my dogs for the night. It was so good to have a comfortable bed and bathing facilities.We made good time the next day with gas and rest behind us. Then when we stopped for gas the next day, 2 ladies saw our license tag and helped us to a 6 Motel , carried in our luggage, walked the dogs for me and Made it possible for us to have another restful night. Some lady who looked like she really couldn't afford it pressed a $20 bill into my hands and sent me on my way. I used it for gas. Gas is high everywhere. I was
grateful to that so kind lady.As we entered Ohio I went to an agreed upon rest area where I waited for my nephew arrived with his 2 boys strapped in their car seats and guided me to his house for rest, food, a bath and clean clothes. They cared for me and the dogs and the latter did not want to leave. Why do you want to get into that car again when these people are so good to us? seemed to be their feelings. My large girl dog broke loose from me when I tried to get in the house and ran back to the front door. She thought I must be nuts to leave that house! The youngest boy, Luke, was quite interested in the big dogs because he crawled on all 4s just like they did. The older brother (2) was afraid of them at first, but ended up holding the leash of the big brown girl dog--who slowed her steps when she saw who was holding her-- and even petted the big black dog before we left. Their dad got in his car and drove us to Columbus Ohio where my niece was waiting to guide us to her home in Ohio. Here I am and here I may very well stay.
