Stuck!!!

So I have a funny story involving Helga. Last weekend when we had the big snow storm, my parents house got about a foot and a half of snow. So on Monday I went to leave to go to school. I got into trusty old Helga and started to back out. When I was a couple of feet into the road (the portion of the road thats not plowed) Helga got stuck. I tried pulling forward and she wouldn't budge. She kept spinning her tires in protest. (apparently she didn't want to go driving that day) So I went inside and got my mom and for the next half hour we dug and pushed and tried everything to get her out. Helga is stubborn and when she doesn't want to move, she doesn't move! Finally a neighbor from down the road drove by and saw that we were stuck. I guess she called her husband who was at home because a few minutes later he came down on his 4-wheeler to try to pull Helga out. Unfortunately the 4-wheeler was no match for the vastness of Helga. So he went home and came back with his pick up truck. (who is quite a bit bigger than Helga) Within a few minutes he hauled Helga out! So I've learned that Helga doesn't like to go out and play when there's snow outside!
Love you all!

Go Helga! Oh how I miss thee and thy vastness. I think when it gets warmer we should have a Helga sleepover. Maybe in June when Sis. Nanny comes out? We'll see. Phyllis, when are you and I going to hang out? I love you.
