It's cold and nasty out today, but that hasn't slowed Carol down any. While I've been sitting around the fire, watching TV, or playing with the computer or the dog, she went on an early ambulance call, picked up a patient in Seal Rock and drove on icy roads 85 miles from Seal Rock to the Florence hospital and back. On the way home she stopped by the grocery store to get boxes for the canned food drive tonight, and picked up the neighbor's mail.
She thawed and reheated a big pot of home made chili to feed the crew, took it down to the station, went to the library to return some books, picked up a book for me and paid the power bill.
Tonight and tomorrow night she's going to be helping with “Operation Santa Claus” which is a canned food drive for the needy. She'll be inside a Christmas light decorated ambulance stacking and boxing food while other volunteers go from house to house gathering everything from noodles to canned peas. (Santa is going to be riding a quad this year!)
Where she gets the energy amazes me, and I sure am proud of her!
