What a week

My hubby was in a car accident this past Tuesday. He's going to be all right but the car may be totaled.
A good Samaritan stopped on the opposite side of the road, parked his car, put on his blinkers and ran across six lanes of traffic to render aid. Then someone plowed into his car!
Both accidents shut down the road, the only access into our town.
This happened just three miles from our house. My husband was coming home from work.
I got in my car after he called me to tell me about his accident and when I heard the second accident over the phone in the background, I panicked and decided I was going to drive over to see him for myself.
I couldn't get to him. I got about a quarter of a mile away and could see police lights and brake lights but had to turn around for fear of getting stuck in all that traffic.
That's when I got really upset.
Luckily he called me back and I felt better after hearing his voice and he reassured me he was all right. The accident happened right on the boundary line of our town and the next one so police and fire trucks from both towns were there. It was a mess.
It's been a week, I tell ya!
But it makes you appreciate that life is precious. Hug your loved ones and be grateful.

Life is a banquet

I have made a resolution today to write more blog entries. Let's see if I can keep that now.
No - I WILL keep that. :>)
Anyway, today has been a wonderful day and it's only early afternoon. I had lunch with a relatively new friend who brought along another woman whom she thought I would like to meet. What serendipity! We all had so much in common.
Is there anything better than a few women getting together and sharing common interests over lunch?
The thoughts were flowing and it was exhilerating.
The setting was absolutely gorgeous as well -looking out over the hills of our town in Arizona, hawks circling for their own lunch in the distance, woodpeckers and hummingbirds flying next to our window, a cloudless blue sky - we are truly blessed.
