Was she an overachiever who had had enough and started over somewhere? If so, why cut her family out of her life? Was her family part of the problem? Q. What was with the rag in the muffler? I could never get a clear understanding of why the girls’ father would teach them to do that.

                     WHAT IS IN YOUR CAR EMERGENCY KIT? Consider the following scenario: you are traveling long distance to grandma’s  house for the holidays and encounter light snowfall, which soon turns into  heavy snowfall and you are forced to pull over and wait it out.  Are you prepared? What about for the next seventy-two hours?  When we think of a car emergency, we tend to think of it simply over- heating (that is a problem in and of itself), or simply having a flat tire  that needs to be changed, or even running out of gas. When you are  out, you are not likely thinking about having an emergency travel kit for your  car, or even what is in yours, should you already have one.
