Popping in for a ride on the train this afternoon. I ride a real train twice a day now, so this isn't the novelty it used to be! LOL!

Anyway! I'm still working on the house. Got the fence put up last weekend and the new back door so the furbaby can go in and out without me. He's a much happier puppy! Still working on the wood floors, I need to get the 1/4 round in around the edges mostly. But I'm bending more nails than are being put in! Guess I'll have to get the Dremmel out with the tiny drill and make some holes! That 1/4 round is hard as cement!

If anyone knits, crochets, uses a loom, or whatever, the Texas Special Olympics is in need of scarves for their 2013 events. Here is a link to the Ravelry Page so you can find out more info and sign up if you want!  http://www.ravelry.com/groups/sotx-winter-scarves

Have a great day folks! Love ya!

Dragging up the caboose here..

Things have a bit rough, in Gina-land, the past few days, but it's getting better now...

Forgive me, if I already told y'all this, cuz I honestly can't remember if I have or not..This past Thursday, on my way to work, a tanker truck apparently came into my lane, causing me to fly across 4 lanes of traffic...during 7:15 rush hour..I remember hearing an "explosion", which was probably when the driver door window blew in on top of me..and remember seeing the concrete barrier coming straight at the front of the car...but God had other plans, and my car landed perfectly straight, beside the concrete barrier...the Paramedics couldn't even fit between the barrier and the car doors..the only injuries I got were from being drug thru the broken glass, to get out thru the passenger door..I'm "sore to the core", of course, but I SHOULD have been dead, so I sure can't complain. The police caught the tanker truck, and there were witnesses, but I don't know what the outcome will be, as far as the car, etc. Right now I'm riding to work with a friend--which is good--I have NO desire to drive right now anyway..I rested all weekend..I'm not really physically hurt, but, I'll hear a loud noise-like a door slamming-and just jump and start crying...

Ok..that's about it for my tale of woe..It's going to get better..Thanks for bearing with me, as families do!!

Wow, Gina! What an adventure! I'm sorry to hear that you were in a wreck as bad as that, and Thankful that you are OK! Talk to your physician about some anxiety meds. You probably need to speak with a councilor also! You are going through shock and don't want it to advance to PTSD, which can be dibilitating! I can fully understand about that part!

Love you! Take care of yourself!

 Gina....I don't remember seeing this.  I am SO GLAD that you were not seriously injured.    As far as the car goes...it CAN be replaced but you CAN'T !!!!   Praying that you are OK.   Hope you did go and get checked out.    That is scarey that you went through that.    I know I would be totally freaked out.   Praying for you my sweet friend and thanking GOD for watching over you.     We'd be totally lost without you in our lives.   

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE;   COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN;  AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!!    THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.
