The strangest thing happened last week! The girls and I did our regular Wednesday morning thing: went to violin lessons, the library and grocery shopping. Of course, all that was interrupted by the accident that L & I witnessed outside of the Post Office, that just happened to (very minorly) involve our parked van. The waiting around in the cold and rain for an hour to give my report to the police sort of put us behind for the day. Apparently I was in such a hurry to unload the groceries once we got home, that I neglected to remove the gallon of milk from the back of the van.
Fast forward to our regular Saturday morning pancake breakfast, during which we finished the gallon of milk that had been in the refrigerator. I assured JP that I had purchased another gallon that week, so we were good. That afternoon, however, while loading up the van to head to J's violin recital, guess what I found in the back of the van? Right...the extra milk I had referred to!
I left it in the garage to deal with upon our return. Miraculously, when I checked it that evening, the milk was still good. This morning we finished up that gallon. Serendipitously (is that even a word?) the weather was cool enough for those 72 hours, that the van acted like a refrigerator and preserved it.
Pretty wild, no?
