After spending time in Nebraska with friends and family, attending banquets, Memorial Services, Graduations and parties, it is time to head down the road again. I spread out the maps and books and planned a route for the summer. Having finished that, I felt that it was time to get the show on the road. However, we will take an unwanted pause. Yesterday we were tying up loose ends, and saying goodbye to the kids in their busy lives. I was headed for one more stop at our son's and a deer that could not tell time, decided to move across the highway at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and ruin my day!
Not only ruin my day, but ruin the plan to hit the road! Lucky for my, it was a rather glancing blow, and the whole front of the vehicle wasn't smashed but just the bumper on one corner. A dent the size of a basketball, and scratches across is all that we can see with the naked eye.
It didn't even break the headlight lens. Whew! I drove right to the dealership and had them check for leaking fluids, and unfortunately with it being Saturday afternoon, couldn't get a complete check and estimate for repairs. Thankfully it is still drivable and we continued on back to the County Sheriff's office where I spent another chunk of Saturday getting an accident report filed and calls made to the Insurance Company, well, left a message anyway, it's Saturday ya know. Monday I will head back and make arrangements to have the repairs. We may as well do it now, as we will be on the road most of the summer with no stops more than a week long until August. I will share some more pictures of our Memorial Service, my oldest son, a Veteran, pays respect to relatives that have passed on. Since he has been out of the Army, these services are more important to him. We were only a half hour late to the event of the week, the 60th Anniversary party was for one of Danny's Gas Company crew.
All these guys at the table worked and retired from the same office. This sweet girl is the youngest of our Musically Talented Family and she was getting ready for a Dance recital. I hope she had fun and did well, her mom purchased a cd that she will share with us later.
Technology is good and bad, that they wouldn't allow pictures and they sell professional pictures and a professional copy of the recital available to the parents to purchase.They even sold advance tickets and thinking we would be gone we didn't get tickets! Everything in life today comes with a price. Not even memories are available free anymore.

Hope this little occurrence doesn't set you back too long.
ReplyDeleteUgh! I thought you had hit the deer with the motorhome. Didn't realize it was the vehicle. Glad to hear you're safe!
