Life. . . . . . .

 . . . . .whether old or brand new, 

always precious.

My granddaughter, Jasmin (22), was fortunate she survived her

 recent auto accident without serious injury------or worse.

Details have shown us once again that being in the right place but at

 the wrong time - such as she was, just two blocks from home - one 

can be hurt, or even killed, in less than a moment.

There are crazy fools, bad drivers, young and old, who should not be

 on the roads.  

There is absolutely no excuse for driving while impaired
 from alcohol or drugs.

The person who plowed into her on the driver's side, at what must have

 been quite a speed as her car is totaled, was arrested for driving while

 impaired and underage drinking as he's nineteen. Looks like he's

also uninsured and from out of state so getting necessary info

has been difficult.

Sadly the car is gone but Jasmin is with us thank God.

Meanwhile, life begins again in the garden as these spring days warm up and

 the sun brings light. Bob has been pulling up sprouting acorns - this is one

 of thousands now pushing up everywhere and once again we are reminded

 of the old saying. . . . . . . . 

"Mighty oaks from little acorns grow"

Raleigh, known as 'The City of Oaks' just doesn't need anymore, 
especially in my garden!

Hoping you and your loved ones always stay safe.
