Good Evening, FS warriors! Well, the adventure continues. It's only the 3rd and my excitement meter has already been pegged. DW wrecked the van this morning. She's a bit banged up, but they haven't found anything broken yet. They are keeping her overnight at the local hospital. We had a freezing rain this morning, and she was determined to go to a visitation for childhood buddy that just died. She didn't make it. She started down a fairly steep hill that, for all appearances, seemed to just be wet. The van left the road and was stopped by a tree about 6 inches in diameter. No trees were harmed during the course of this accident. It happened only about 1/2 mile out of town. The ambulance and fire department were on the scene within 15 minutes. I arrived about 5 minutes later, and was only able to bring my truck to a stop within about 20 feet of the van and the ambulance; almost another casualty! I can't tell whether the van will be totaled or not. In any case, it was winched onto a flatbed truck and carried away. Everything had to be cleared off the road before I was clear to proceed to the hospital. The firetrucks were not able to get back up the hill, and had to take the long way around to get back to the fire department. So, I spent the majority of the day with her, and I am pretty done in. She is resting peacefully, with lots of pain killers, and she ate all of her supper, so I am pretty sure she will be fine, other than a great deal of soreness from the jolt.

I decided to go ahead and lead Church worship services tomorrow morning, since everyone else is sick anyway. Going to have DD there in the morning, and then I'll head over there after services, and after I've attended to all the critters.
Toodles!
