We were rather sad because we couldn't afford to go to the annual gathering at Hilton Head with the rest of the extended family. ASLFRose and BlazerCheer went over to my in-laws' house to cook part of our dinner since they were in HH and we needed the extra space.
The phone rang and it was a distress signal from the elderly neighbor who, unbeknownst to us, has some kind of phone hookup with my in-laws to alert them if she falls. She had fallen and the 2 girls ran over to help her. Unfortunately, she was inside her barbed-wire-enclosed back yard and there wasn't a gate. BlazerCheer kind of tossed ASLFRose in and both got rather torn up from the barbed wire..they called 911 because the lady was badly cut from her fall. The lady is in the hospital now but she'll be okay in awhile.
Anyway, thank God we were here--it was below freezing this morning and I don't know what would have happened if we'd left.
