The Wild Week of Winter in Georgia

We had quite the week of weather, we living in Marietta, GA aren't use to having. It caught most of us off guard, including myself. I have lived and driven in most every state that has major snow and cold winter's, without ever to date having an auto accident. Not this year and of all places in Marietta, GA on my way to get my hair cut, then a walk in the park at the Green Meadows Preserve Bluebird Trail.

Well I never made it to my appointment for my most expensive hair cut, that I never got. I also didn't make it to the Bluebird Trail for my walk and to feed the birds. Instead I sat on the side of the road, on Dallas Hwy waiting for AAA tow truck for four hours, which never got to me. It took a good friend 3 hrs. to come 4 miles to give me a ride home. I know many of you have much bigger stories to tell about your day on Tuesday January 28th, 2014.

My 1998 Toyota 4 Runner

This "Yota" as we called her was my baby, I had put everyone of the 176,000 miles on her. I was going for the big 250,000 mile mark. I am sorry to say that will not be happening, I was informed yesterday that she is totaled and will be put to rest. So when you drive by the Green Meadows Preserve Community Garden/Bluebird Trail, you can no longer know if I am there by seeing my 1998 Toyota 4 Runner parked by the fence.

I am writing all of this so I can tell you how sorry I am that we had to cancel the scheduled Walk and Talk Tour for the Bluebird Trail on Thursday January 30th at 10:00 am. The cause was the bad weather on Thursday the 30th, not the fact that I was home sick about loosing my good friend the Toyota. The good news is that no one else was involved in the accident and I was not hurt.

Please read the next post to our blog for all the correct dates and times for the coming Walk and Talk Tours for the Green Meadows Preserve Bluebird Trail.
