Beware of Old Ladies on Stretchers

Sunday was a weird day. Steve treated Sam, his new friend Amanda, and myself to breakfast at Stuffy's.  While we were eating, there was a big crash at a table near us. An older hostess/waitress, who is a Stuffy's fixture she has worked there so long, was carrying dishes, tripped, and fell. She laid on the ground in pain as the staff called 911 and swarmed around her. The EMS techs arrived, placed her on the stretcher, and carted her to the hospital.

Then, in the late afternoon, I was driving home after hiding rocks. Was sitting at the stoplight when BOOM!! Someone rear-ended my rig!  

I looked in my rear view mirror and saw two cars behind me. Called 911 then got out of my car to assess the damage. Sedan behind me was totaled...front and back smashed. The third car, a VW bug and the instigator of the crash, was totaled in the front. And my SUV? Only the rear bumper sustained damage with scuffs and three tears. God was definitely protecting me.


The only person who was injured was the old lady in the VW Bug. The ambulance arrived, put her on the stretcher, and carted her off to the hospital. I was having deja vu!!!

Only excitement this week is all the time I've spent submitting three insurance claims for the damage to my vehicle.
