Oh NO! Not Again......

Hi Girlies!

My poor little daughter....

Remember this post?

http://bellamerecottage.blogspot.com/2009/07/praising-jesus-thank-you-for-protecting.html

Yep, that's how the passenger side of her car looked on the 4th of July last year.

The nincompoop who drove right through the stop sign slammed right into the car where my little grandson was sitting.  It scared the daylights out of him.  And, my daughter, of course.

They got the car fixed and were pretty much past that event when....

Danged in some nincompoop didn't plow into her again today.  On. the. same. side.

Where my little grandson was sitting.

Hit and run.

So, the first one went on my daughter's insurance and this one will as well.

Is that fair?

She's so upset.

Fortunately this time it wasn't nearly as bad as last time.

She did have a witness, but she didn't get the license plate.

It all just happened too fast.

As you know, if you've been following for awhile.........she's a single Mom, just trying to do things right and do the best she can.  My son-in-law was killed in a car accident so you can imagine how hard this is for both of them.

But, God is good.........isn't He?  

We are so blessed to know and love him.  He saved them from harm and that's the most important thing.

We're a grateful family.

I'm a grateful Mum and Hemma.

Lovies and Huggies,

A Day At Port Townsend And A Car Crash Update.......

My Hubbs had a long weekend for the Fourth of July, so we drove up to Port Townsend, on Friday, for lunch at one of our favorite restaurants.

The weather was just yummy and we had a delightful day.

I love a town with flower pots, flower baskets..........whatever, wherever....POSIES MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.........I swear, I'll pay a little bit more to buy gas at a station with flowers....They just make me happy.

Yep, there he is...........really he should be turned the other way.......this fella LIVES for a water view. He's such a cute little guy. Everyone who knows him uses this EXACT same sentence........."oh, that Craig........he's just the nicest guy".... :-) They're right!

Port Townsend is such a sweet little old town. Lots of little shops and some really nice antique stores. Sadly, I was having "a bad leg day" and didn't get to walk around.

So darn cute!

It's too bad they don't have underground wires in this adorable little town, but isn't this old architecture just delish? Sort of like a wedding cake, isn't it?

Ahhhhhh........and our favorite restaurant, The Stillwater Cafe. OH MY GOSH....they have the BEST food. Very different flavors melded together. I wish I had remembered to take pictures of the inside and of the FOOD while we were there. Sorry! :-)

I have admitted it here before, I'm a lousy cook. I used to be a great cook when everything had a sauce and most things were made with tons of butter........we just don't eat like that any more and my sweet, 3X bypass, Hubbs doesn't eat meat, so things around here are pretty pathetic in the dining department. I bought The Stillwater Cafe Cookbook........I am SO hoping it will help. Everything in it looks wonderful and most things are made without meat. YIPPPEEE.


Now, onto some really sad news. My DH's boss was taken away in an ambulance yesterday. He is a WONDERFUL man and my Hubbs really cares for him. It looks like he may have had a stroke. I'm sick over it and have prayed and prayed for him. Would you please offer up a prayer for him too. He's only 63 and has a family. Thanks so very much. My Hubbs is beside himself.



Now, the Darling Daughter wreck update. (Please see last post).

My daughter has been spending endless hours dealing with this mess. It looks like they're not going to total her car at this point. They are, however, going to take the whole side of her car out and rebuild it........that includes that center post. I don't want to be gory here, but that post is that failed when her husband was killed in an accident. She does NOT want this car back after having been put back together. And, evidently the frame has been bent and they think they can square it back up. I'm not a car repair person, but it makes sense to me that if you bend metal, then bend it back it will never be as strong. She has to have a car that is safe for her child and for herself.

We went to court yesterday for the uninsured ninny with a suspended license who hit her. He didn't show up. Isn't that just classic? But here's the clincher. He hit my daughter on the Fourth of July. He was arrested for driving with a suspended license AGAIN on the FIFTH! Can you believe it? He just doesn't get it.

Sorry this bloggie is just lots of ramblings.......My brain is alllll furry right now. :-)


Thank you so much for coming, for reading my ramblings and for your prayers.

We covet them.

Lovies and Huggies!

Praising Jesus! Thank You For Protecting My Family!

Let me begin by saying...........GOD IS GOOD! He took care of my family and protected them from very serious injury. I am more grateful than I could ever express. I have one daughter and one grandson....And........I LOVE them SOOOO much.

Yes, this would be my darling daughter's beautiful little car. We had asked my daughter and grandson to come for dinner for the Fourth of July.....she said "no, I hate to drive on the Fourth, there are too many drunks on the road, we'll just stay home". About 7 in the evening they decided to go about a mile down the road to pick up a pizza. It was sooo hot here yesterday and she didn't want to cook.

They were driving down a main road when some complete idiot blew through the stop sign and slammed into the side of my family's car. His license had been suspended and he had NO insurance. Great. He was 25 and two young girls in the car. It could have been so much worse, but my daughter caught sight of him flying toward her and managed to swerve a bit.

My grandson is a BIG kid and legal to sit in the front seat......he was RIGHT there....

As I've shared before, my son-in-law was killed in a car accident six years ago....leaving my daughter to parent the little guy by herself. It hasn't been easy, but she kept going for him.

My little guy was beside himself. Dodi gave him the phone to talk to me from the accident......so I could calm him while she talked to the police. He was terrified. When the accident happened a lady came flying out her house to check on them and my little guy told her right away about his dad. That just breaks my heart.

Bless his little heart. He told me that talking to me had helped him a lot, but he still had a little bit of scare left in him. I love him so much...

I went right over to comfort both of them and my little guy just kept telling me not to squeeze him too hard he was "sick"....and did vomit. He didn't look like himself at all, so we took him to the ER to have him checked out.

They said he was fine, it was probably too much fear for him to handle under the circumstances.

I stayed overnight and when I went to leave today, my little guy told me it was too soon to go, I'd only stayed ONE night......

The driver told the officers that he was probably going about 10-15 miles an hour...well, it looks like the frame of her car is bent and my daughter said he was flying....and didn't brake at all.

So....here we are. A single Mom....struggling to get by......with what looks like replacement of her car on her hands now. I'm so furious with this driver...........He actually told the officers..........I HAVE BEEN HAVING BRAKE TROUBLE!...........WHAT? And, you went out and risked lives? So caviler about human life? WHY?

What is wrong with some people? I'm sorry to blab on here, but I'm so ANGRY!....How DARE he risk my family's lives? Or anyone else's???

And, now he's left my daughter to pick up the pieces.

Please pray for them. They're both pretty beat up and very sore. And, for me. I know I should forgive him, but right now, I'm just not feeling very forgiving.

I'm so thankful that I know YOU WILL pray for them!

Hugs to all.

The Mommy...

PS.....I just talked to my daughter........she said my little guy has been walking around all day asking how that guy could have hit their car.........and that he kept hearing the accident in his head. My heart is breaking for my family. This has brought up so much of the old stuff for my little guy....my daughter has her "mommy" pain dealing with his emotions and her own re-living of those horrible days six years ago.

My daughter didn't realize she doesn't have rental car insurance on her uninsured motorist policy so it will cost her about 1,000 per month to rent a car until they sort this all out. She doesn't happen to HAVE an extra 1,000 per month.

I covet your prayers and want to thank you all for your precious messages. I'm constantly amazed by the blogging world. Such a loving, caring and uplifting group of women. I love you all........thank you.

And, through it all..........God is still in control.
