  I guess I am related to Vic...and my Nebraska cousin.  Sumthin is always happpening.  I am dog sitting....just setting the scene, that is usually a clue for the crescendo.  I took the dogs to my house early yesterday morning so I could work in my yard.  I was landscaping in my backyard planting coral honeysuckle, lantana, butterfly plants, etc.  I needed to run to the post office and then to Lowe's to pick up my birdbath and some lattices.  I was dirty, no makeup and hoping to not see anyone I knew.  Right.  A block from the post office, I was waiting at the stop sign, running my list through my mind when I was jolted from behind.  A purple SUV with gold rims plowed into the back of me.  He jumped out to see if I was ok.  The front end of his ride was a crumpled mess.  At least 4,000 damage.  You could barely tell I had been hit.  The Altima has a spring bumper and it works! A dent on the trunk, a few scratches in the paint on the bumper and a scratch or two.  I had to calm him down and assure him I was ok and I wasn't going to sue him.  It wasn't even his car he was driving.  My little damages amounted to 1500.00.  The ex-girlfriend whose car he was driving showed up and they were in a scream fest.  He walked off to keep regain control and I had to comfort her.  I am just glad I did not have the dogs with me.....they love to ride.  I have pictures to post from my landscaping...but I am not at home.  I watched four or five birds frolick in my bird bath.  I am going to have to get a book.  My plants and feeders drew the birds.  There were cardinals and bluebirds, but one was parrot green with a bright orange beak.  No clue what it was.  The semester is drawing to a close and I have a ton of papers to grade.  I wish everyone a blessed Easter.
