Sally's GF3 thread

[Sally PB]

We have friends coming over on Thursday. A woman we used to work with, her husband, and their two kids. One kid is under a year (I think) and the other is 3. I never realized how much stuff we have on low tables... This could be... interesting!

Typical to any time we have friends, we are trying to make the house look more presentable. As I've said, this mess is a house.

I had a thought while I was washing the windows: What if we had guests over every week? Or even every other week? We would keep the house a lot cleaner!

Sally,,,, are these the Kids coming to visit you???
The 1, and 3 years age is about correct

They can grab anything off a low table

Our visit was wonderful! There were some tears and whining (1 1/2 and 3 1/2 year olds do that), but nothing got broken and nobody got hurt. There were lots of smiles and laughter, so they enjoyed themselves too.

Happy Solstice, everyone!

Today we're going to the Holland (MI) Celtic Festival. It's going to be HOT. We will sweat, a lot. We will drink a lot of water.

A couple of our favorite bands will be there. We will wear our hands out with clapping.

I'm going to take my neck wrap/cool-danas (whatever they're called).

We had a great time at the festival!

Then on the way home, we hit a deer. We were on the highway, going 70mph (the speed limit), and the deer was just there, in front of the car. It was so close to us, I could only see its back. No reaction time, no way not to hit it.

I think the car is probably totaled, but we are fine. I doubt the deer survived. I guess it was thrown clear of the highway...? We didn't see it, or any vehicles swerving to miss something.

If the car is totaled, we'll have to start looking for another one. I'd rather go to the dentist and get another crown. Cheaper, faster, less painful, and I like my dentist.

Oh geez Sally that’s terrible!!!! It’s fortunate that you’re both ok! I’m sorry about your vehicle and understand the car hunt dread.

I'm so sorry, but I am glad that you feel okay.

Yeah, I'm surprised that we don't have any stiffness/soreness. The airbags did not go off, which also surprised me.

We had it towed to our house for a couple reasons. One, I have no idea where State Farm Insurance wants it to go for assessment, and two, we needed a ride home. We were about 32 miles away, and it was about 10:30 by the time the wrecker got it on the flatbed.

I want to give a shout out to Trooper James Pavwoski II. He was the state cop who showed up when we called 911 to report the accident. He called for a tow, said it would arrive faster if he called. He waited for everything to get put on the truck before he left. I thanked him several times. I know he'll probably never see this, but hey, man, thank you. It's your job, but thank you.
