Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 13, 1991-B9
Rain and more rain fell and
when I went to move the car I
could not! The ground was very
soft and someone had parked
broadside directly behind me.
There was nothing to do but to call
a tow truck. So, while my husband
sat in the car, I walked in a farm
lane where several pickup trucks
were parked, but I found no one at
home. I continued my hunt for a
telephone by walking to a new
house up a hill along the road.
Here a kind lady helped me
contact the AAA. But, I discov
ered that we would have to pay the
tow truck as we couldn’t say the
engine did not work. So, I dragged
my soaked self back to the car to
wait. Finally the truck came and
lifted our car out of the tight
squeeze that it was in.
It was a day that I’d just as soon
forget. But, one can always say,
Tt could have been worse.”
