Easter Weekend

Larry and Velma came to visit for Easter weekend. We took advantage of the nice weather and had a picnic lunch. Sawyer loves to be outside and asked for picnic lunches all winter, so it was nice to be able to spend some time in the out-of-doors.

When did my babies get so big?

My former hambone has become very camera shy.

I thought Chloe would have trouble sitting at the picnic table beside her big brother, but she surprised me as usual.

I got in a fender bender on my way to Stations of the Cross on Good Friday. I was traveling north in the far left lane of a three-lane road and a lady turned right from a private drive and instead of turning into one of the other two lanes she kept coming and ran into me on the passenger side. I couldn't stop in time and ran onto the median after she hit me. She was driving a four-door Lexus and the damage to her drivers' side rear door was pretty bad. The pictures are on my cell phone and I have no idea how to get them from there to here.

It still cost over $2,000 in repairs to the Camry even though it doesn't look like much. I had the car towed to the body shop because something came loose and was rubbing on the passenger side front tire every time I turned left and I could smell rubber burning. I didn't want us to take a chance.

I had them repair a few things I'd done to the Camry. I dropped the dog crate on the hood when I pulled up too far in the garage. Lorne had it stored on a top shelf and I got too close to the shelf and it fell. I also had the rear drivers' door repaired where I kept hitting it with the Tahoe door. I was explaining what I wanted to possibly have done and the guy at the body shop asked me, "You don't like your husband's car too much, do you?" It was pretty funny! What's bad is the rear bumper is also damaged from me not pulling up far enough and closing the garage door on it. We decided not to have that repaired, though. I was actually pretty surprised Lorne agreed to any out of pocket repairs as it was.

The passenger side got banged up the most, but even it wasn't too bad.

The hubcap got dented and scratched when I went up onto the median.
