Because I live one block north of Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa, many employees and visitors park on my street. Snow plowing is difficult resulting in an enormous amount of snow at the base of my driveway. Recently, I was stuck twice in my driveway as I was leaving to attend my classes at NIACC. The first time my priest, Wendy, from St. John’s Episcopal Church, freed me. As I prayed, Wendy shoveled. The second time required two young ladies, my neighbor Scott, owner of Jitters coffee bar, another neighbor, and a kind man driving by to rescue me. The young lady who drove a van was actually under my car chipping away at a huge rock of ice as the others shoveled and pushed. In addition to my NIACC learning experiences, I learned that Mason City is blessed with caring neighbors. I know my John and God are smiling down on my six saintly angels. I am truly grateful. And to the angel in the van, your ice scraper is hanging on my back door for you. — Sally Baker Mason City
