You are about to embark on some crazy up and down adventures of my sister Donna . I think last time i wrote about her it was on the "Attack of the Rabbit!" So decided to list and write more about some of Donna's fun, and spiritual and not so fun events that have accurred in her life. some are pretty amazing!
Bank Route: this will be scary:
Donna did a bank route back several years ago. She did this late at night when banks were closed. It was a late run , like nine to midnight or so. One night after leaving a bank and getting back on the highway this guy drives along beside her. Looks at her and it was intimidating and weird. He kept driving along beside her. When she would speed up he would speed up also. This kept up and she was getting scared and started crying. She couldn't stop at a bank and couldn't get off of the highway. Finally after playing this cat and mouse game with her she finally saw this exit coming up , she decided its now or never, she was going to have to dart across the two lanes and exit in front of cars fast if she was ever going to get rid of him. So even with cars on other side coming up she thought I have to be fast and cut infront of them in order to lose this crazy guy! So intense as it was , she came closer to the exit and at the last minute she cut across two lanes to quickly exit the highway. doing this so fast and at last mins. that the guy couldn't get over to follow. Whew! He did lay on his horn in anger! Next day she saw the man's picture on tv, and recognized his face and said it was the same man who had followed her on the highway, he was that close to her. He was wanted for being out there raping women. Talk about scary!!!
Daycare: Donna had a daycare for several years. Was really good with the children . She kept about seven children in all i think. One day she was at our home in Pine Hills and we had the TV on and up popped pictures of two of the children Donna kept. They said a mother and two children had been shot. It seems the mom went out near midnight to get milk for cereal the next morning and a couple guys on drugs forced her in her car where kids were waiting . Long story and sad . The boys were quite young and after raping the mom they then took them out and shot them. The mother survived but the children did not. Donna saw this Headline with childrens pictures come up on tv and freaked and started crying uncontrollably. These were her babies! So awful! It was such a sad thing and it hit all the newspapers. Young boys on drugs and looking for action and it went too far. So Sad! There were three young guys and it took just one to come up with this bazaar thought and the others followed. :(
Experiment with Lye: Well this is pretty scary. Donna decided she was going to make gravy one night for supper. She said she reached up into the cabinet and got down what she thought was flour. As she was stiring the flour and added milk she said her eyes started to burn.
Our sister in law came into the kitchen and ask what she was doing. She said "making gravy for supper" but my eyes are really burning. Lillie our sister in law said what did you put in it. Donna said this here flour. Lillie said let me see that jar! she picked up the jar and said "Donna , this is lye!!!" Oh my gosh! You could have killed us! Donna wasn't aware and said "glad I didn't taste it." ha. Wow! Why was lye in our kitchen? Who knows! Sounds like something dad might have done, always putting stuff any old place. Lucky Donna, and lucky that Lillie walked in at that time. crazy family!
Stranger in the house:
Donna actually got home really late one night and a stranger nearly knocked her down as he ran pass her and out the front door. It was dark so she didn't get to see who it was . She said no one else was home at that time. We always left doors unlocked in those days. More than once have we been scared that someone might be in our house but that night Donna said this man came running out the front door and nearly knocked her over.
Blue Baby: is name they gave to a guy they say that wasn't quite right mentally since birth / someone said he lacked oxygen as a baby so thats why they called him Blue Baby. So as you got off the city bus us kids had to walk around this long curve to get to our house. One night it was dark when Donna was heading home . He jumped out at her(my sister may have been with her) from no where and it scared them to death and they ran like never before. From that day forward when any of us kids got to that corner we would say GO and take off running as fast as we could not stopping till we were way pass that corner. Doubt he would have hurt anybody but no one was taking any chances. ha. So it became a big thing , when you hit that corner, run for your life!! Blue Baby might just be waiting on that bend. Wow, did I ever learn to run fast once I approached that bend. I do remember Bump and I running like crazy once we hit that curve ! haha. We thought blue baby might just be there waiting for us on that curve. haha.
The Keys: Years ago Donna did a Bank Route late at night, very late! Well this is one story i will always remember cause on this particual night as she told me , a miracle took place. Donna arrived at this one Bank as usual and it was around midnight and went inside. After making sure she had dropped off everything she prepared to leave as usual and found that she couldn't find the keys to lock up the Bank. She thought i can't call Bank Pres. this late and wake him. worrying what she should do she again looked inside and then outside and everywhere /she cryed and finally dropped to her knees right there in the middle of the bank and said a prayer. Said she told her problem to the Lord. When she was done, she said it felt as if someone had put there hands on her shoulders and led her directly outside. She looked and saw this beam of light shining down from the sky right onto the keys . She said she cryed. She said the keys were shimming in this bright light. A miracle ? I choose to believe. I believe Donna had a very personal prayer answered that night just for her. With a experience like that how can there be any room for doubt. Beautiful!
Whats on the fence?
This one has to do with Donna sometimes being in such a rush and leaving things behind. Donna is always watching the clock, she is always on a time line. Picked her up one day and as we took off and headed out, we nearly arrived where we were going and she said where is my purse? I said no idea and then she said i had it. Yikes! worried we headed back home and there it hung on the fence post! O my gosh she said, anyone going by could have taken it. Yikes. stay tuned, more stories to come on.
Car Problem! Donna was out on the road one night , thinking on bank route likely but anyway she had a car problem and pulled over. It wouldn't start and out of no where this man is standing there and said can I help. She said i heard no car or saw a car and told him what had happened and he looked under the hood and said get in car and try it. It started right up and when she went to thank him he was GONE! She said it was impossible that he could appear from no where and then disappear without her seeing him leave . She called it a miracle and said perhaps he was one of the twelve apostles that wanted to stay on the earth till Christ returned again.
The ice ride: this one a little crazy and wild:
Donna told me of a story about when she and Aunt Lillie took off to go visit Uncle Jim and Aunt Gerty .
They had to decide if they wanted to take this a old rickety traintrack that they had turned into a bridge which went over the river to Illinois. Taking this route would make the trip shorter instead of taking the long way around to get to Uncle Jim's place. So they decided to take the short cut over the bridge. Well they got to the old bridge and started across, unknown to them the bridge had iced over the night before. Donna having had never driven on ice before, never realized how bad the traintrack bridge was, it became very scary! The road was very narrow and they would slide from side to side, back and forth till they felt for sure they were going to go over the side and down into the river below. Donna told Aunt Lillie she better pray. For sure there was no way of turning around! Another car headed towards them and seeing there situation he backed from off the bridge so he could let her come on through. Now two cars could be on the bridge at same time because of it being so narrow. Donna said that was " one scary day!"
so stay tuned in, with Donna you just never know what will happen next!!
