Wrapped Emotions...Dodge Viper misses my family by minutes.

This week and for the remainder of the month, Wrapped Emotions is celebrating "The Gift of Every Moment".

From Melody: "Thinking of the people who bless my life and of the blessings my family has received, I make a vow to slow down and be fully in every moment of this Christmas season. Not simply a catalyst or a bystander or a tired, grumpy woman, but to be completely aware of the gift of every moment I live. I want to feel Christmas with the wonder of children, sprinkled with the wisdom of maturity."

"During this holiday season this is what I wish for you. Whether you observe Christmas, Hanukkah, another religious holiday or simply the beauty and goodwill of the season, slow down and be fully in every moment. Perhaps in doing so, the vow will carry over into the New Year; perhaps you'll learn to do less and feel more. Let's try."

"Simply experience and enjoy your life this season and post to your blog as you will."

My family was working out in the front today fixing up the bikes and riding in front of the house on the sidewalk the kids riding.
Beauty had a flat so hubby said he would go get a tube . I said no... lets all go as a family. So we went quickly up to get a tube. We came right back home to this. Just moment before we turned the corner was impact.

The skid marks started just in front of our home...

The Viper was going 80 miles per hour. He said the floor mat got stuck under the accelerator. He had just shifted into seconded gear. It hit the neighbors yard and took out a small tree and spun around hitting my neighbors white truck with the rear of the viper and it still spun around with such impact that it moved the white truck completely off its tread and struck their other new car right next to it. (my neighbor just got himself the new work truck)

The neighbor accross the street came to the aide of the driver. She was just starting Labor...Can you believe it!?
She is alright expecting a son tonight?
The son of the neighbor who lost their cars to the viper was waiting to pull the other truck into the driveway they were running late. If he had not been late the kid and his dad would also of been in the driveway...
No one was hurt. We were kept safe. The driver of the Viper passed me walking down the street he on foot said "I'm glad there were not any kids out or any thing no one got hurt...He said God was watching over it"...
So I told him how had we had just left for the store my children would have been right there and the other man and son would have been standing next to the white truck. He got pale...
I said yes...God was watching over all of us.

The driver of the Viper said to my children as we rode our bikes past at the end of it all..."I am so glad you kids were not out there"
