Yesterday I got a text from my daughter that lives in Atlanta. It read......"Dad, I have an extreme EMERGENCY." Many things are starting to run through my mind as I texted her back......what is it and what can I do? She replied back......I went to the freezer and I am out of snack stix's.........Well, I could now see why she was in a panic. Told her I would make her a care package this weekend and have it in the mail on Monday.
