I drove to Omaha today for a noon meeting.
I was almost in THREE accidents. 2 could have been bad.
Defensive Driving saved me.

I’m totally serious.

Anticipating what another driver might do, watching all the time, driving the speed limit, paying attention, not talking on a cell phone…..all important for safe driving.
It’s something we need to think about
at
all
times
when on the road.

I wonder if this means I shouldn’t be playing my David Cassidy music so darn loud in my MomVan?!

Snowstorm preparations consist of going to the grocery store and buying everything is sight for the upcoming blizzard where you might be stuck inside for an hour or two!
My aunt used to go buy Pepsi and Cigarettes.
I buy milk and potato chips! (had enough diet coke on hand!)

Attending this Live Nativity at Emily’s church will certainly be a new tradition for us. It was So well done and everyone was SO friendly. Dan, Navy Seal and I drove through twice and went inside for cookies and really HOT apple cider.

My FAVORITE tradition is finding Just The Right Gift for my family.
