It could have been much worse!~

 

It was like this:

I was on the way to pick C up from school.  I was only doing 35-40 MPH because it was raining very hard.  Truck fishtailed, then started spinning with me.  Spun around several times and slid into grass.  Slung me up on embankment right before you get to the dumpster near the high school.  I swear the way the truck slammed into bank, I thought it had dented the whole driver's side.  It is a small wonder the truck did not flip.  That was a pretty steep bank.  I drove truck back onto road and stopped at dumpster where I could pull way off the road and walk around the truck to safely survey the damage. Thankfully only minor damage to truck.  Small dent in bumper and took some paint off above tail light on driver's side. I think the tail gate has a place on it, too. I was right at the school, but instead of going on to school to get C, I was so shaken, I drove slowly back home and got hubby to drive me in the Silverado.  It has much better tires.  Did not want to chance that again with Carrie in the vehicle.  Thank God it was not any worse and I am okay!~

 

We got burglarized again.  :-( Guess they came back to get what they did not finish getting last time.  Thankfully, we had gotten most of what was left after we discovered the last burglary.  Still not exactly sure what all was taken, but this time around, we know they got all three of our bicycles and our Sears Craftsman lawnmower.  The first time around, they got $2000-3000 worth of tools and camping equipment; however, I have a grateful and thankful heart.  I am grateful that I still have what is most important to me, my family and my friends.  I am so blessed and I know it.

 

Have a wonderful week and BE SAFE!~
