Today I almost died a very bad death at none other than my house. This is no joke. It’s serious and I am lucky to not be dead. Around 7pm Sunday I was mowing and weed whacking the lawn. I had just started the edging alongside the driveway near where my truck was parked. For a reason I don’t know I just happened to look up and notice a white car barreling toward me from across my front lawn. The car had jumped the curb off the busy main road and came across the entire front lawn right in my direction. The car nailed into my truck about 5 or so feet if not less from where I was. The car became wedged onto my tailgate which just happened to be down because I had offloaded the mower some time before. 911 was called and the women who was driving her male passenger stated she sneezed a couple of times causing her to veer up onto my lawn and straight toward my location. He apparently grabbed the steering wheel from her causing it to veer across the street and up onto my property. Later on the cops thought that the real story may have been a result of the couple fighting. Strangely the couple was very calm and the cops didn’t believe controlled substances were a cause.
Other than my tailgate being destroyed nobody was hurt. My mom who happened to be over thought I might have been pinned under the vehicle. If I had been just a couple more feet down the driveway and I would have been pinned into my truck by the runaway car. I shall live another day. Only ice cream and chocolate can help my nerves right now

Reality of Life
Author: Stephanie Clark
Life isn't just full of happiness,
It's sunsets, it's love, it's tears.
It's the thoughts of yesterdays memories,
That can wash away all out fears.
It's that very painful experience,
That each one of us has had.
It's the laughter that fills the air,
It's the tears when you are sad.
It's loving that someone special,
That at one time made you smile.
It's the pain of losing that person,
But the memories that make it worthwhile.
It's that child in every one of us,
Although in time we'll all be old.
It's the good times we'll never forget,
It's the memories we'll always hold.
It's the hug that we all need,
When we'd rather drown in our sorrow.
It's the hope in every one of us,
That makes us hold on for tomorrow.

I decided to replace the aging mailbox on the front of the house with a new one and put new fresh numbers on it. My other little task was to paint the concrete landing with special paint and spray paint the black railings after cleaning the rusty parts with a wire brush. It actually turned out nice and things look a little bit more put together. Just figured I would share a random house update. Full speed ahead I guess….

Was learning cursive in school really necessary? When was the last time you actually used the art of cursive other than to sign your name on a legal document? Over the years my signature has gotten worse with it now being the equivalent of a couple of elongated lines barely resembling my name. Everybody gives me grief about it but I have honestly forgotten the method to creating a lot of the characters.
If I asked you to write each and every letter in the alphabet in cursive do you think you would be able to do it? My guess is probably not.
