Good evening ladies, **m**

thought I better pop in and say good evening. We had a
very nice trip, we played golf everyday but one, metal detected,
ate to much. I drove up to a Danish town called Solvang and
looked around and stopped in a little casino, won a $100 and
decided it was to long a drive to be by myself late so I came
on back to the hotel, its by Santa Barbara,Ca. It was nice to
see the dh finally relax and get some color in his cheeks. The
only glitch in the whole trip was fri evening when we were just
turning into our hotel at a 3 way stop. Vern was in the middle
of his turn and we do not know if it was a man or women, ran
the stop sign on my side going about 60, I screamed that they
were not going to stop and Vern stepped on the gas as fast as
he could and the car swerved and missed my door about a foot.
We almost ended up in the lobby of the hotel but he was able
to stop just in time. Vern said I would of been killed out right.
and there would not of been anything left to bury.
All I could think of was my daughter. When we got the car back
to our parking spot, we both shook for an hour, we both said
that we were so fortunate, because there was another car coming
from the off ramp but he stopped at his sign, thank the good
lord for angels. So ladies other than that we had a most wonderful
trip, and glad to be safe. Talk to you tomorrow. Angels Flying
Low tonight. Betty hugs.

Thank God you are here to tell us about it..Becky
Hugs, Darby
not hurt being pinned in for so long. Was the trucker cited or
was it weather related ? Just being pinned in would of been very
terrifing for me. So glad you were ok. I agree completly on the
drivers that do not speak English and drive without insurance,
and in Ca that is the norm. Have a wonderful day. Betty hugs.
Anyway, we marveled at how fast the police, tow trucks, fire dept., ambulances, even photographers, etc. got there. We didn't see it on t.v. but I have heard that it made the news because it was such a pile up. We continued on our trip to NC and I had told Ted to please just go home and I would call our friends and cancel. But, no, that stubborn Irishman just kept going when he found out the car rode well. But, about an hour back on the road and I was so sick it was unbelievable. Nerves. And I guess this is where I can believe that I have a nervous stomach problem.
Anyway, all's well, we are alive, and with the new med's I am not not afraid to be on the road again. Up until now, I was a basket case. Thank God you guys escaped your near miss and that you are well. Sometimes it can affect you emotionally as well as physically though, so please take care. Have a good day. I think I told you more than you ever wanted to know, but I'm just a gabby one. Hugs. Bea
