The Silver Lining!

So the Monday before Thanksgiving I was just minding my own business waiting at a stoplight at NW Hwy and Inwood Rd. I'd just had my oil changed and the inspection completed. All of a sudden .... bam ... I was hit from behind. A 2010 BMW complete with a upper crust blonde Dallasite behind the wheel. Great news ,,, a Dallas Police car to my right. This came in handy after she took off - the officer chased her down and I got her insurance information.

The insurance company was somewhat reluctant but in the end took full responsibility and I was able to drop my car off to be repaired.

This morning I picked up my car from Herb's Paint and Body. Looked great .... and the silver lining? The crease I'd put in my trunk a couple years ago was magically gone!

So I've got a new front and rear bumper. Now all I have to do is stay away from poles and other cars.

More Home Ownership ...

Despite being sick with a cold all day yesterday, today I accomplished a lot Started off getting my christmas tree decorated. If I can muster up a picture I will.

Then I raked, swept and mowed up three bags of leaves off my tiny front yard. And there are still many more to pick-up. I love living with all these trees but really - how many leaves are there.

After that I took apart the pool filter and cleaned it. This is quite a job entailing taking the filter apart - hosing down all the filters (4) and then putting it all back together again. Luckily it was a warm day in the low 60's so it wasn't too bad doing this in December. However, let's hope I don't have to do this again until Spring!

Now a little nap before our second concert this evening. Love my house!
