Good Morning everyone. Well, we had some more excitement in the neighborhood last night....,my neighbor had to call the ambulance for his wife. Apparently she has COPD and some lung problems but she was not able to breathe and they got panicked and called 911. The ambulance woke me up...not the siren but the sound of a diesel truck idling in the street and the lights flashing in my bedroom window. I know these two people live alone so I went out into the garage and walked across the freezing yard to see if there was anything I could do. The man was waiting for his son to come and get him to go to the hospital. He told the ambulance to go ahead and take her.
I felt so bad for him......then he said he was mad at her!! Seems that she has been ill for a while with all these breathing troubles and still continues to smoke!!   I think I'd be mad, too! I hope she's okay but for the life of me I cannot understand someone's refusal to stop...especially with all the help out there.....baffling.
It got too cold to stay outside much longer so I just told him if there was anything I could do to knock on my door. Poor guy....
I've already had 2 cups of coffee but it's soooo cold here that I think I might have to make some more. It's supposed to be rainy here today with sleet and snow mixed in. Good day for soup....I might just have to thaw out the vegetable beef soup I made last week.
Welcome back, Wiz!! Glad you had fun. Back to reality!!
Everyone have a good day.
