We have been up North the last two week-ends and each time your Dad has been a "rescuer".
The first weekend, we were heading toward the escalator in the Provo Towne Mall and a little 4 or 5 year old girl was standing there by herself. Her Grandma and Mother were going up the escalator and yelling at her to get on! Of course these days you don't know if you should help and get in trouble or run. I could tell the mother was being cautious and wondering what to do, did I mention she had a baby in her arms? But the frantic Grandma asked your Dad to bring her up to them. The little girl was hesitant at first until her Mom said it was okay. I wished I'd had a camera, she reached up and took your Dad's hand and held on til we were at the top and then she took her Grandma's hand and waved good-bye after saying Thank-you to him.
The next week-end we pulled into the Mervyn's parking lot at the University Mall. There was a college student standing in the empty space next to the one we pulled into. She was on her cell phone and you could tell she was very upset! She reminded me of our kids when we'd get the 'phone calls". Your Dad was smiling, he said, "Wait til you get out and come around, you'll see what's wrong." She had pulled her car over one of those cement dividers. She had called a kid to come help her. (Her licenced said Washington) It wasn't two seconds and he pulled up, he had two logs with him and a jack. But your Dad took charge and offered to help push the car back over the cement divider. He did use the logs. The poor girl was sooo thankful. She shook his hand and had tears in her eyes. And of course your Dad was the proud rescuer!!
What a guy!!!

sounds just like him. more people need to be less scared of getting in trouble and a little more concerned about being considerate. this includes myself, you never know these days. good for you dad.
good show!
Christmas music already?
Yep! After Halloween.
Very nice stories. He is very good helper -always has been! I can't really picture how they used the logs - you'll have to explain at Thanksgiving. I've driven over one of those cement things. She must have had a low-riding car.
How do you run over those cement things? I've bumped into them but not over them. That is a great trick. Way to go Dad for giving a hand!
It's actually very easy. You just don't pay attention to what you're doing...
So...what are you up to now? You haven't posted anything new all month!
