WHAT?!! Please tell me that isn't really the truck you are driving! Are you guys ok?
Oh dear! Jared just called to tell me to check your blog and I can see why! I hope all of you are okay--and the insurance covers all of it!
I wonder if I could call the hotel you ran in to and get the security video of the crash for next year's EGADS Awards? Really though, I am glad to hear you made it ok and are safe in Dayton (or should I say that I am glad you are off the road and our higways are now safe again! :) I hope we can find a time to get out to Dayton to pay you a visit, though.
Holy Cow!! That's a bad day on the road...Good think you had the extra insurance. Ummm..who was driving??
Ouch! I had to bring Kent in to read this one. He did the same thing I did - cringe. I think Colleen may take as big a hit as the breezeway. So Sorry!
Oh, Di! I bet you just died when you heard that crunch. It makes me sick to even look at it. I loved your list though - I will definitely have to try those nut/cracker things.....Hey, e-mail me something so I have something with your address on it, okay? Then I can add you to my blog list! Ü
