It Comes Every So Often

Well, just Monday, February 27, I got my car out of the shop for being hit in the Kroger parking lot. No note, just a banged up bumper and side damage from what appeared to be a shopping cart pushed along. Lucky for us, it was covered under our uninsured motorist part of the policy. Well, this Monday, March 5, we got victimized again. This time we were at the stop light in Chubby Hubby's car, (right in front of said Kroger) when a "man" trying to flee from hitting another car decided to squeeze between us and the car in the next lane. Needless to say, he hit us both. Did he stop? No, he tried to run from this scene also! We, and some nice witnesses, were able to give chase and get him cornered about half a mile up the road. When the police arrived he was promptly handcuffed for outstanding warrants. He will have had at least one night in jail to think about what he did. So far, there is no indication that he had insurance, so once again, it will have to go against our insurance. I think there should be better ways to track people that do not have insurance to keep them off the roads. Ours is the little red car, his is the black truck and of course the culprit in handcuffs.

My Beautiful Bird: Blue

Blue is my newest addition to the family. He came here in October of last year. On presidents day, Big Lots had an 8 mega pixel movie camera for only $25.15 with tax! The SD disc was another 10 bucks, so a very good price. This is my first movie with that camera. Blue was not impressed.

Some Cupcakes for Valentines Day

Bleuette and Sakura enjoyed cup cakes from Beccasine this year. She takes good care of the kids!

Well, a post a year?

It has been a rough year for me and I am hoping this one to be better. It has already started better as I entered a sewing contest at the Fletcher Pattern Group on Yahoo groups, and WON! The theme was Winter Wonderland and my Peter Pevensie was the target of my sewing. Using a pattern by Fletcher Patterns, "In the Game" I created this ski outfit for him. He, the judges and I were very pleased with the outcome!

I have not been good at posting

............It always amazes me how folks blog every day. But here I am and my thing lately has been to play with Dead Fred, a pen/pencil holder CH got for Christmas. I started posting a daily scene to Face book from 1-11-11 and hope to run through 11-11-11. A limited engagement. Here is a sample.
