Yes. At first he denied doing anything, but he couldn't get out of it because of the blatant evidence left by all the skidding, torn up ditches, bashed (ruined) mailbox, the damage to our car, etc. I have a feeling he was doing something like texting when it happened because we were the only other vehicle, besides his, on the road and it was daylight, even though we had our lights on. It was overcast and Glenn, because of experience riding the motorcycle, turns on headlights as a precautionary measure under those conditions.

wow Katie, we have a lot to be thankful for today, right?! so glad that you and glenn are uninjured, that 'speedy' is a large, solid car that helped keep you safe, that glenn is a skillful driver, and that serendipity was with you on this day. and let's not overlook the special reflexive reactions in near-collision situations of an experienced motorcyclist....life is yours in a special way today, Katie, hugs....
it is derby day today--have you picked the winner?

That's good. We're lucky and he's lucky, it could have been much worse. Again, glad you and Glenn are okay.

Thank you, yes, Speedy is a nice hulk of a car and Glenn is one of the most capable drivers I've ever ridden with, both on a bike and in a car.
Yep, you're right, it's Derby Day. No, haven't picked a winner but our silver julep cups are polished and ready. We'll be front and center in the living room when the race is on TV. It's always a great show.
Derby Day...been waiting all week, this year I'm hoping on a jockey, Rosie Napravnik. She is funny and deserves the win, she will be atop Mylute..

Just got back from the local greenhouse. Only purchased 4 flats of plants, we're cutting back from our usual 8 or so. We like to pick a cruddy day before Mother's Day to avoid the crowds and get there before everything is picked over, and it worked out great today.
Got my maters, peppers, Magilla Perilla, and a bunch of other stuff. Will wait for awhile to plant, the soil is too wet and cold and it's still raining.

Processed 2 quarts of ice cream- 1 quart French vanilla & 1 quart strawberry (containing 1 cup of stewed strawberries).
At $1.89/pound I would buy two roasts and slice one up for chops!
This was my first thought, too. It's the same cut. I don't understand why the roast cut from the loin would be cheaper than the whole loin... but then maybe that will be explained in the next two pages...
... or not, lol.

Whadda ya think.....we're watching the Derby!!!!!
Oh, thanks, Kylie. Yes, we had a wonderful time. The food and "smoozing" company was super. I was able to visit with my brother, who used to live within minutes of me but, by last October, had moved to Nashville. It was great to see him.
No, he didn't win in any of the categories in which he was nominated, but he was the presenter for some and did a great job.
What is Magilla Perilla? Is a lamium? A coleus? Does it have flowers?

Sorry, took the pic in the dark. It looks like a coleus, but it's not. I've grown it for many years, love it. It's a great container plant, and I love the name. It has flowers like a coleus, but I pick them off. The coleus at the bottom of the pic is Fishnet Stockings, also a fun plant!

Yeah, it looks like the leaves are smoother than coleus. So, flowers? Square stem?
Wow, Katie! That had to have been terrifying. I'm so glad you're still here.

It's a member of the mint family, an annual, holds up well in heat, and handles sun or shade. Flowers are insignificant, like coleus. It can get pretty big and tall, and does well in containers. I use it in mixed planting whiskey barrels.
