Yesterday was another exciting day in our household. I had a meeting away from the office that went from 8:30 am until 10:00 am. I left my cell phone in the car during the meeting because I hate having to answer it when I am in the middle of something else – bad move!
My wife and children went into town to pick up some groceries and get some errands done before the big snow. On the way at 9:30 am she was rear ended. She was in a Ford Explorer, the other driver was in a Dodge Ram truck – his truck won. My wife didn’t think his vehicle had a scratch on it, but our vehicle had the back tailgate door smashed in, taillight broken, and the window was shattered. Thankfully the flying glass did not hit the girls.
So because I left my cell phone in the car (again, a bad move), my wife couldn’t reach me. So she called our neighbor who works close to town. He came right over, helped calm her down and the girls, followed her back in his vehicle to our house until I could be reached, then went with me to drop off our wrecked car, than he took me to pick up a rental. Now that’s a friend!
We took my wife to the doctor because she was very sore from whiplash. They examined her and want to keep an eye on her until Monday to see how she progresses. They gave her some medicine for the pain. The girls seem to be okay, but we are keeping a close eye on them. They were pretty shook up.
At 4:30 p.m. my wife and I ate an early supper – probably nerves. A little before 5:00 p.m. our neighbor and his wife call us to invite us over for pizza! My wife and i didn’t go, but our girls were thrilled.
We love our house and it’s location. But even better than that is having the best neighbors in the world! Priceless!
