INTO EACH LIFE.....

           INTO EACH LIFE.......

    It has been said "Into each life a
little rain must fall." On Tuesday a
heck of a lot of it fell on us!
     My wife and I decided to take
the scenic route home from our
Travelworld pre-cruise meeting in
Dingman's Ferry.
      The sky had begun to darken
about the time we pulled into
Milford. The wind had all of the
whirligigs spinning at a colorful
local shop. They looked so good
we stopped to buy one for my
wife's upcoming birthday.
       By the time we loaded it into
the car the sky was downright
black and within minutes my
"scenic drive" was distorted by
the monsoon like rain that
roared through the area!
       It seemed a strange time
for several other motorists
to pull into a carwash until I
heard the rock-like hail hitting
my roof too!
       I pulled into a gas station
that, luckily, had an out or order
pump. I didn't need gas anyway.
Just the roof overhead that
offered protection.
      The rain slowed after a few
minutes and we continued our
journey. We turned off of Route
6 at Lake Wallenpaupack and
headed towards the Interstate.
        We made it about 6 miles
when we ran into the roadblock.
Seems a tree had some down
taking wires with it and we had
to turn around.
          The other side of the lake
seemed our best option so we
headed that way. Two miles along
emergency vehicles stopped us
again. This time, however, one
lane remained open and after a
short wait we were allowed to
go through.
            It took a little longer
than expected but we made it
home safe and sound and with
one of those neat whirligigs to
spin in the next gust of wind!
            Hope it's just a little
less gusty and that all your NEWS
is good!
