The disaster started when my neighbor put this in her front yard:
At first, her sign made me smile wistfully.
Oh, yes. Snow would be lovely right now.
And then it DID snow.
This lovely picture was taken 2 miles from our house.
Because that is where I discovered I need new tires.
My sexy minivan couldn’t make it up the hill.
Apparently, old tires have no tread.
Without a tread, you can’t grab hold of the road.
And you have to leave your sexy minivan parked at your friend’s house
…while you walk the rest of the way home, humiliated, cold, and grumpy.
”Come on, Mom. Pick up the pace.”
Translation: We’re hungry. Hurry home and make lunch.
I made the kids grab my ankles and drag me up the rest of the hill.
Once home, I ordered a large pizza. Delivery, of course.
Fortunately, the delivery dude’s tires had treads.
And we lived happily ever after.
With the delivery guy.
Cuz his car worked.

Oh you’re too funny my friend. I’m surprised you didn’t strap rope to the kids and had them pull it up the hill with you “steering” it the whole way. LOL!
I also have to smile at the sight of snow. It’s been in the high 70′s low 80′s here for the past few weeks. And I’ll also tell you that I’m LOVING it. Yup. I’m sure it’s going to end eventually but for now it’s tank tops, shorts and flip flops for this ol’ gal.
Have I convinced you to make a trip down yet? LOL!
Kim @ Homesteader’s Heart´s last [type] ..I Thank My Youngest for My New Living Room Arrangement!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Yeah, I blame to neighbor too. lol. The snow is beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
Snow…so beautiful…heading to Utah to ski in it this weekend. Better check my tires first since no one will be delivering pizza to me as I sit on I-15 waiting for a big truck to come by so I can follow in his tracks. Stay safe and warm!
LOL love it..hmmm but wait.. Last post was flirting with the waiters this post at the end your living happily ever after with the pizza deliver guy does anyone else see a pattern here?????????????
Oh, come on Lynn. I know you were just trying to get out of making dinner. Sexy minivans are sexy forever. Mine for instance has almost 200,000 miles on her and still purrs like a kitten. She’s also paid for herself many times over with her loyalty which, is also very sexy. Keep warm in that snow-burrrrrrr!
This story has EVERYTHING! Foreshadowing, (wo)man vs nature, romance, a huge pizza and a happy ending
