Good morning all&#33;<br />Still very cold here but actually up to 17 degrees and sunny.<br /><br />I was abruptly awakened at 5:50 am by the phone. DH called and said he was in a #&#036;%@* accident. He&#39;s OK and the car isn&#39;t that bad, he said - still driveable. It was on I-75 in Detroit (the roads were slick with snow) he saw a sign that said &quot;accident in left lane ahead&quot; so he got all the way over in the right lane and slowed down. Here comes this lady flying past him in her pick-up, sees the accident at the last minute, swerves in front of him and loses control, spins around and he hits her truck on the driver&#39;s side. She went up the snowy embankment and had to be towed out. She&#39;s OK, but she got the ticket. The cop tending to the other accident saw the whole thing and wrote in the report that it was 100% her fault. Our insurance said we don&#39;t even have to pay our deductible. It&#39;s still a pain in the butt. She was probably on the phone&#33;<br /><br />Anyway, I have to get everything done today because he has to use my mini-van to get to work tomorrow. I&#39;ve been asked to make a green bean casserole for Christmas Eve and a dessert wine. Plus I have to get the stuff to make a Christmas Day brunch for the 3 of us&#33;<br /><br /><b>Welcome back Mary Lou and Martha&#33;&#33; </b>A Panama Canal cruise is high on my list. So nice to hear about you all finding new friends&#33;<br /><br />Stay warm and out of the snow <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":smile:" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Have a great Monday&#33;
