A Quick Dip in the Creek

Oh Glorious Days! We are being teased by soft days, breezes and sunshine. Isn't that a perfect time for a little dip in the creek? What...you think it might be too cold? Too early in the year?

As I discovered last Friday, the weather was ideal for the newest member of our family to take a little dip in the creek! Oh, yes, that little rascal! He saw a creek and just jumped in! Sigh...Yes...it was me...all me...that is what I get for driving Farmer Jeff's behemoth truck to the catering event and then forgot to pull forward. Instead I backed up and went RIGHT into the drink. Grrrrr....

Luckily there were wise folks who understood what was needed to get me out of there. See...I did figure out how to get the truck into 4 wheel drive. That only works, I discovered, when you have ALL 4 wheels on the ground, not one in the creek/mud and the other one off the ground flapping in the breeze.

Once we got some weight in the back of the truck, a chain onto another strong car, a little tug and out we came! I was mighty embarrassed. Sigh...



I guess I just wanted to be the first to get mud all over the truck!
