Accident

Sunday evening I heard a loud noise outside and when I looked out the window I saw what I thought was fireworks. More sparks flying and a closer look told me that someone had just hit a telephone pole one street over from me.
Now don't ask me why, but I went out and headed up there. I don't have any medical training of any kind but I thought I could at least make sure that someone had been called. I think half the neighborhood turned out and we all stood around talking about what we saw or heard. (so little excitement in a small town.)

The driver was along except for a dog. The driver was about mid twenties and it looked like his head hit the windshield. He was up and walking. Someone said that when he got out of the car he started walking and saying he had to go pick up his wife and they told him no you need to sit down. The dog didn't appear to be hurt at all but it was very nervous and not willing to go to anyone. It kept running around barking and try as we might we could not catch it. It ended up running off down the street. Someone did go looking for it and I do hope they found it.

These aren't great pictures but you can kind of see they have the car up on the truck and the front end is all smashed in.
After I walked back home, being a real blogger I went up and took these pictures out my bedroom window.

A thought for Monday

weekend walking

There's nothing quite so nice as starting the day off with sunshine and a walk with your best friend.

Duke took full advantage of the day and made frequent checks of pee-mail.

I randomly snapped my camera. My favorite shot of the day. I don't know what kind of tree this is but it looked so pretty against that blue sky.

On the way home, we passed a house that had this cute display in the front yard.

Dream

Everyone should have dreams rights?

Would it be wrong if my dreams were simply to eat chocolate? Because frankly, the pretzels just aren't cutting it.

I've been trying to behave myself and control what I've been eating. I had already been putting on some pounds and then when I quit smoking that didn't help.
I do need to brag here just a bit though because someone, who shall remain nameless, quit the same time I did only someone didn't make it very long and someone is going to give it another try starting today. I on the other hand have been smoke free for 31 days..

Now all I need are some satisfying, healthy, low fat, low calorie snacks and meals.
