One more skunk tail (tale.) Yesterday morning, the weather was awfully windy here..rather wild, with winds up to 30 mph. And, Elizabeth had to leave in the dark at 6:00 to get to school at 7. (Normally, she leaves an hour later.) But, after praying, and claiming Matt.27, the winds did abate considerably. So, she was ready to leave, in her white nurse's uniform, looking very professional, when she called to me from the deck, "Grandmother, Ferdy is out here! He just now ran under the car!" So, I grabbed a flashlight, and started to look for him. No Ferdy could we see. I told Elizabeth to stay on the deck, and I would brave the skunk! Now, picture, if you can, this old lady, in her gown and housecoat, down on her hands and knees, looking under the car with the flashlight! A sight to behold! No Ferdy, he evidently had escaped out the other side..so, got Elizabeth in the car, and on her way, and you can believe I had some "thank yous" to whisper to God!
I didn't realize it at the time, because was so concentrating on getting her in the car, but then felt something hurting around my ankles. There was a long piece of rose bush wrapped around both ankles, and the blood was flowing...so had to come in and take care of that..
All of that by 6:00 in the AM. What a way to start the day! But, it all turned out well! God cares! Glad we can laugh over these things in life!
