NETCO.."okay, you can all leave at 3PM.."..N on RT128..S RT 95..N RT 495.to my rural town of Holliston..my little Gremlin got me home..I could feel and hear the snow on the under carriage of the car..5 days later the kiddos and I made our way to the end of the driveway..the front end loader came through..we shoveled a path out to the road..We had a snowmobile so my 14 year old went door to door for what they might need..milk, bread etc..short ride to our little village store..not much left but managed to get something for everyone..

When I think back on that evening ride, and following tire tracks and rear lights..I made it 3 hours..normally 1 hour ride, I was able to get the car just up the driveway enough ..off the road..I was on call, having a CD (civil Defense) license, but way down the list, because of the children..co-workers phoned around making sure everyone was okay..

Just one of many Where Were You Stories..but, you don't forget..be well all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..
