Meet Cathy: Was it a Deer?

Meet Cathy.  We met at McDonalds.

“Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal.  Live this day as if it were your last.  The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.” – Wayne Dyer

Meet Cathy.

Cathy and I met at McDonald’s as we shared an electrical outlet.

Cathy had an accident recently and might lose her dream home.  A few years back, instead of buying a house, she bought some property on a mountain in central Tennessee.  She loved it here, despite concerns from her children.  Eventually she built a large cabin and bought some horses.  She was finally content.

Then she woke up in the hospital one day.  She remembers driving but doesn’t remember running into a tree.  Cathy thinks a deer must have jumped out in front of her.

Cathy wants to save her home but is unsure how.  She has an idea to write a book about male genitalia.  She wants help brainstorming, so we do.  I think she is on to something there.

Cathy lets me set up my tent in her yard, by her fire pit.
