Stranded!!!

I left my house at 1pm today to take the kids for a picnic and pictures at the park. When I got in the van I noticed I was out of gas. I set out to find me some gas. It is now 3:30, I passed 30 empty gas stations and I sat in 2 long lines that ran out before we got to the pump. I ran out of gas in my mothers driveway because I couldn't make it back home. I am hoping Danny gets gas on his way home from work. If not.. no church, no Rock House, no cleaning the church.. nothing. Maybe no work Monday. The gas station will have to have gas right by our house. Sadness.

Danny has been working at Marathon in Nashville. They are FULL of gas and not selling!!!!!! I told Danny he needs to call the news! What is up with THAT!????

We got some yesterday afternoon and another shipment last night. Enough, we hope, to get us through tomorrow. The annual Trail of Tears motorcycle ride is tomorrow, and we are a designated stop for them as the traverse north Alabama. We were told to expect more than 100 bikers between 10 and 10:30 tomorrow morning ---- of course, them motor-sickles don't use much gas, but we hope to have some for them just the same.
