almost did it......

busy Thanksgiving week and weekend..here to Maine, a foot of snow, van got stuck twice up there, had a great dinner Amy made, ran the 5K with her group, made it to Boston to pick up Katy and Jennie, had a fun girls' time going to NY for a bridal shower....then literally BAM it ended when a huge buck came right out in front of us as we started our return trip. Jennie was in the van and said "I don't like that! The deer should have a sign to cross!" We weren't hurt and the van is staying in CT for repairs as I try to wrangle hard-to-find parts from CA and Canada. Better than parts for us. Thankful for the van for taking one for the team. Grateful Jennie is fine and that Katy and Pep who were in the front did not have antlers come through the windshield. I was just happy to find the license plate the next day. Thankful to my sister and her husband for helping us, lending their car, and letting us overstay at their house. Grateful to my sister-in-law who was driving behind us... she didn't get hurt and amazed that she could fit the entire contents of the van into her car plus us and return us to my sister's house. That buck was flat out in the road...we thought it was a goner...but then he sat up and after a few minutes got up and walked away without limping. Just glad to be home.
