A Trying (but really GREAT) Friday

Yesterday was eventful. Action Girl (age 9) was finishing at the summer camp she had been at since last Sunday. In a unrelated happening, I took Super Mom's car top have some brake work done. Our plan had been for her to leave home and pick me up and to drive to pick up A-G at her camp.

At about 2:35PM, about a kilometre from our home a car crossed the centre line and struck them close to the driver's side front wheel. They are fine, at least by today.

The local fire department, police, and two ambulances were called. The other driver and Super Girl (age 6) were taken by ambulance to the hospital. Happily, Super Girl was there and gone in about two hours and she and Super Mom are bruised and stiff but otherwise okay.

Our car, the 2004 Santa Fe is pretty heavily damaged. It now has three wheels, which I suspect may turn out to be a problem. All that really matters is that they are fine. That makes it a really successful day.

    Oh wow. I am so glad that you guys are okay. Lots of lying on the couch for both of you. I am focusing on that good news instead of the annoying car issues because it could be so much worse. Thank heavens you are okay. Our thoughts and prayers are with you guys (and Peggy). Colleen
