Her friend, B, had heard of M's blue state and invited her to ice cream at Jeni's. After sharing a bowl of jalapeno chocolate ice cream, M stated triumphically, "It tasted exactly like a chocolate covered Slim Jim!"
Upon leaving Jeni's, cruel February returned in the form of a snow storm. The snow poured and poured as the intrepid M headed for home.
Despite the irony of seeking out ice cream when outside it looked like this, M was not laughing. Oh! The temporary company from B could not staunch my loneliness!
After being fed by Grandma, Aunt J (who had copiloted the "Golden Goose") read M some books about a pigeon who wants to drive a bus. Aunt J told M that she had so much to be happy about because at least she was not being audited!
After the feeding and the pep talk, Grandma and Aunt J took her to COSI for some exercise. Unable to talk, she responds below to her Aunt J when asked how things were looking now after their visit.

The wind which had blown the storm in, blew M's laments all the way to Washington DC. While sitting on her porch overlooking the Tidal Basin sipping on pink lemonade and enjoying the sun, M's Grandma heard the wailings. Realizing the distress signal was from M, she hopped into the "Golden Goose" and drove to the Ohio. Seen below, a cheeseburger from the famous McDonald's at the corner of 123 and Old Dominion has been transported to M more than 300 miles!

The intervention came at the right time! M feels markedly better now and proudly shows her first artwork after going to nursery for the first time! She's grateful that Heavenly Father gave us water!
M feels far better and has her family and friends to thank for all the visits!

M-you scored on relatives! Now that the basement is finished your poor moocher side of the family promises to come soon! But not til you can promise that blizzard is gone!!
Yay!!!!!! M's first nursery!!! Were you emotional dropping her off, or did you cartwheel down the hallway like I am always tempted to do? (providing I could pull a cartwheel anymore)
