Parents...

Parents - you can't pick them... All you can do is love them. (For the record I am lucky - I would pick my parents too.)

As I share this story - I hope it brings laughter and a smile your way. And Dad... I LOVE YOU!

Yesterday I was outside working on this and that, I ran upstairs to get a drink of water and my phone was flashing (meaning I had a message). Now for those of you who know me - my phone and I do not get along the best at my house. I typically don't have service or it just plain old will not work.

So, I was completely surprised to see I had a message. I picked up my phone - a missed call from dad and a text from dad. The text was a little hard to decode - so I just called my dad (and again my phone worked).

Dad answers and asks if I can come over. I asked if it was an emergency - or could it wait a bit, for I was in the middle of a project. He says that it is sort of an emergency... still he is not giving me any details. I am getting a little nervous.

I ask, "Dad are you OK? What's going on?"

Dad says, "Well I'm sort of stuck on the roof. The wind came and blew my ladder away."

I am not sure if my dad was through with his story at this point, but I busted out in laughter and said I would be right there. I considered bringing my camera and taking a picture of him up there before giving him the ladder back.

Moral of the story - make sure your ladder is secure :)... and even more important - I'm just glad it was only a sort of emergency.

(It was pretty priceless pulling into my parent's and seeing dad just chillin' on the roof.)

Turbo Thank You...

This past Saturday - Team Vogel was embraced by 4 wonderful instructors, the YMCA and many individuals who can move. I am so thankful to Jackie for coming to Team Vogel and wanting to hold a Turbo Kick Event for us. I promise I will bring shoes next year and join in. Thank you to all who attended.
