Happy Monday

Hey everyone. I missed you!!!

I really want to thank you for being patient with me last week. IT WAS CRAZY!!! I had a deadline, with LOTS of work, to try to make. I MADE IT!!! I barely made it, but I made it! My shoulders and my elbows were VERY sore by the time that I was finished. This next week is going to be crazy too. Hopefully not like last week, but still a little on the busy side, which is GREAT for me. I need to make that budget!

I have been up since 3, again, and have been typing my fingers away, and I have much more to do..........

Oh, you remember a month or so ago when I showed you pictures of my front yard, when that person "almost" ran into my house? Well guess what? That same kind of thing happened AGAIN! But, this time it wasn't my house, but our neighbor across the street. So, here's what I know. This happened on Friday. Oh, it was sooooo beautiful Friday, wasn't it? Well, I had let the two little ones play outside in the back yard. My older guy was out bike riding with his buddy for a little bit. So, all the windows were open and I was in the kitchen getting our hungry hungry hippo (Sadie) some food in her dish and I heard "the noise." I knew exactly what that sound was as it has happened before, in the same spot. I ran to the front door to see if there was anything that I needed to do. Two of my neighbors were already out there (the owner of the property and one of my other neighbors). So, I was sitting there just kinda watching (seeing if I need to head on over). I watch the two people kinda messin' in their car and he (the driver) hops out and she (the passenger) gets out the driver's side. The SUV landed in my neighbor's parking area. What happens is that we live on a corner and the speed limit to go around the corner is 20. Well, people speed on through thinking it's fun or whatever and then they crash their cars into our yards. My neighbor across the street has some tree stumps and a couple of nice rock piles in front of his property because of this. Well, he hit the cement barrier, the sign, and one of the rock piles. Really wrecked this SUV. I, still sitting there watching...... pretty soon I hear my neighbor start yelling...."hey, get back here...." THE DRIVER IS RUNNING AWAY!!! What?! He left the girl there and ran away!!! I went in and grabbed my camera and took a picture, but really there was not much they could do with the picture as it was from behind. The thing that they did get from it was that the name that was given for him did not match the description of what they had in their system (them being the police).

Anyway, I did end up going over there and chatting it up with my neighbors and waiting for all four police to come. I felt really bad for the girl. She really believed he was going to come back, but guess what??? He didn't. Imagine that. She says, she's really sick and is in the process of chemotherapy. She had her "friend" with her, she pulled over and asked him to drive. She says she was really sleepy. So, then she was sleeping when this happened. So, she is not sure if he was speeding or just wasn't paying attention. Then, to top it all off, it was her grandma's vehicle.

Just a sad situation. I know this kind of thing happens, but I can't believe that I saw it with my own two eyes. I just really like to see the best in people. So, as I am sitting there talking with my neighbor he tells me that it is crazy that they landed in his parking lot as they "usually land in your yard." Oh wow! Now, we have only lived here a little over a year, not even a year-and-a-half yet and so far it has only happened to use once, but it looks like we need to do some type of landscaping to protect ourselves a little more. It's kinda scary. I really wish people would just mind the speed limit.

Anyway, just thought I would share with you.

I hope you all had a nice Easter. We sure did. I was soooooo beautiful outside. Just a GREAT day to spend with the family and celebrate!!!

Okay, have a happy Monday!!!
