I know this could so easily have been tragic but, to quote the catchphrase of an Irish comedian (you won't know him) - "It's the way you tell 'em".<BR/><BR/>Actually, I was trying to leave a comment on the 'Interruptions' post in September but it just would not let me do that so, idly swanning through a few of your other entries, I came across this one and Hey Ho, guess what? If I hadn't been denied access to comment I may not have read this, so no little giggle and no realisation that I had been interrupted for a good reason.<BR/>love, Angi, xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015569343069499036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-90993321165991803862008-09-02T16:16:00.000-05:002008-09-02T16:16:00.000-05:00Lord, Marlene!

So thankful the Lord kept His hand on you and spared you from disaster!<BR/><BR/>A similar situation happened to me a few years ago on my way to a Ladies Conference hours from home. Thankfully the car passing me on the highway noticed the smoke before I did and signalled me to get off the road. He then stopped and offered assistance and I was able to have the car towed to the town I was travelling to and repaired while I was at the conference.
