Bitter Cold

This morning as we prepared to leave for church, my DH sent our oldest son to start the van for it to warm up before we got into it. It proceeded to start but spew antifreeze so we quickly moved to plan B. Okay, we didn't have a plan B until we needed one but we changed plans from the red van to the trucks. We all made it to church with a minute to spare. Today was Nursing Home Ministry after our morning church service. Our family headed to the Covered Bridge Restaurant to eat before we met to serve the residents at Hawthorne Inn. When we left the restaurant, one of the trucks didn't start. After working on the truck for as long as they could stand the bitter cold, we all loaded in the remaining two vehicles and headed for town. Leaving M's truck there, we were late but arrived safely at the nursing home. We elected to stay home from church due to the decline in the number of working vehicles we had in the cold, cold weather. M will just need to get his truck to the shop and DH will need to work on the red van when the weather warms up some.
