Full Service
I never thought paying $4 a gallon for gas would have me so happy but yesterday I was more overjoyed to do it. After weathering a tornado that flew over the restaurant I was in at lunch, I remembered that my next stop was supposed to be the the gas station. I had 20 miles to 0 on the gas meter when I pulled in to the parking lot. The power was out everywhere and I couldn't get any gas. I was about 25 miles from home and I had Landry with me...the roads were starting to look like parking lots and panic was starting to set in. I remembered a locksmith van in the parking lot of the restaurant I was in so I flew back over there after failing to find a working gas station and the guy was already in his vehicle and getting ready to pull out. I waved him down and he rolled down his window..probably wondering who I ran over to get to him...and I asked him if he had any gas and would he PLEASE sell it to me if he did. He had 5 gallons of gas on him and he very kindly gave me what he had. When I asked him what I was going to owe him, he was only going to charge me the going rate for the gas. What a nice guy!! I gave him 5 extra dollars and he didn't even want to take it. God was sooo looking out for us. Not only in the restaurant but also in the aftermath. Motherhood gives you a completely different outlook on what used to be everyday experiences. I don't ever consider myself first any more. Landry is my absolute first consideration and when danger is involved it escalates the situation 10 fold. As I watched the news and saw all of the damage in and around the city, I knew that were very blessed to have come out of it unscathed. Thanks again to Kenny Lang of Lang's Locksmith! If you ever need his services, please give him a call. He is a Baptist preacher from Morton and a good samaritan and certainly someone I would want to do business with.
