The Old Folks Home

Hey, she stayed on the driveway!!! DD2 went off the road Sunday night after work. Near as I can figure she probably hit some ice. Didn't go too far off and a good Samaritan stopped but couldn't' get the car out. So he went back to his friend's house nearby and returned and pulled the car back on the road. She said several people were sliding where she did but managed to regain control. I figure 2 things:

1. They saw her off the road and slowed down
2. It is a DARN good thing they did regain control or they likely would have slid right into her car

Even though she "didn't hit anything" as in a tree or something, the front bumper is crunched some and the frame is bent back to the radiator. Must have hit a short cut off tree or something.

Waiting for the estimate from the repair place to see if she will be putting in an insurance claim. May not be the best thing for someone who has only had a car for < 6 months.

bent frame ... kiss car goodbye

Not THAT bent! Just the part in front of the radiator. The guy that looked at it didn't seem at all concerned. She can drive it while we wait to get it repaired.

Frames can actually be fixed or straightened. They usually total a car out that needs that much work but they can even replace whole quarters of cars, like frame, roof, part of the body.
We're supposed to get 15" tomorrow on top of the 10-12 we got the other day. Bet they close school.

They've already closed a lot of schools here. Thanks for catching the first 15", I don't need over 20!!

We are supposed to get rain late tonight and tomorrow, then the weekend as well. Ugh. It was nice to see the sun today!

Nigerian Dwarves! I have had meat goats and big milk goats, but the little ones will be cheaper to feed and babies are cute as can be!

I want Nigerians!!! I can't talk the DH into it

Wow Can't believe you guys are getting clobbered again! It's already 10 below here and dropping but I'm not going to complain, you don't have to shovel cold. We haven't been hit with more than 6" at a time this winter so far which is totally weird.

I like the little goats mini or dwarf they are so cute how could one say no

They are good at eating weeds and brush! And the kids are so adorable!

Don't have to shovel rain... unless it's freezing!! Gah!I hate cold, snow, ice.
But I'll take it rather than move to a place that has other problems.... earthquakes, floods, fires, alligators, etc. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.
