Edited one hour after this was posted to add to the drama of the day.  It appears our bottom element in our oven burned out and hubby concocted a way to cook pizza for one small boy who was expecting it…we had a fire in the oven and we had quite the time to get the smoke alarm to turn off.  What do we do?  Go to bed and start again tomorrow?   lol 

We had therapy today and on the way up, we hit a deer.  Hours later, I am still nauseated.  The daughter was driving and her fiance was in the front. My head was buried in my afghan book when I heard him calling her name .  He saw it coming, she didn’t.  He was on the phone and thought she’d seen it.  I am so proud of her.  She hit the brakes hard but didn’t swerve at all.  When my head came up to see what was happening, the deer was directly in front of us but we came out of it with a small dent in the driver side front.  There were cars both beside us and behind us and how we didn’t end up in a big accident I have to say was God’s protection.  We pulled over and then I started to realize how close we came to tragedy and when I called hubby, I kind of fell apart.  I am so, so sad to say we don’t think the deer made it.  I am so sorry to have to report that but it just came out of nowhere as they do.  We called 911 to see what to do but they said there was nothing we could do. 

We did end up going for therapy and I’m glad.  Hubby called about half an hour later to see how we were and asked to talk to the little guy and I was so blessed to hear him calmly asking questions to make sure he was ok.  He seemed to understand what had happened.  The thing that really scared me was he got out of the car on the freeway side, he doesn’t understand to be careful, he just wanted to see what was going on.  I was so glad hubby thought to call and talk to him, though. 

Ok..I need to move on.  He had fun at therapy today.  We’re working on life skills.

He hates this part but was happy to show the fiance what he does.

And he got to show what he does outside, too.

When we got back into town, I ran into the shop and grabbed the new colors that came in for my afghan.  I’ll see if I can settle down enough to knit tonight, probably I’ll pick an easy square tonight.  I did start on one on the way up but am not sure it’s the one I want to work on right now.
