Hey everybody!!! Well, I'm here to report that I almost didn't make it through my birthday! Last night I went out for dinner. One of the things that I like so much about my neighborhood, is that I can easily walk to so many wonderful restaurants. So out we went last. After dinner, it was such a wonderful evening that we decided to take a walk through our neighborhood shopping area. This was a very German neighborhood at one time. Although most of the old Germans are either gone or have moved away, the ambiance still remains. It's especially pretty this time of year. I was crossing a street....in the crosswalk. A car had stopped at the stop sign. I saw the man's face, I thought he saw me, but he literally gunned it as he left the stop sign. I screamed as I knew I was going to be hit. I really believe that my guardian angel picked me up and moved me just enough so that I wasn't hit. It was incredible. The man did stop, but I wasn't hurt, although angry at this point, so there was nothing to do, thank goodness. So....I'm still here and still giving away fabric to celebrate my birthday week! Once again, thank goodness!
We have a winner to announce!! Congratulations, it's Dashingmarmot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, this is fun ;)
I'm so happy you are ok! You must have been scared to death.(I imagine your husband was too!) There are so many drivers out there that don't look carefully enough before they take off. **hugs** Anne
ReplyDeleteI'm already in the hat; just want to give a big-hearted smile to all the guardian angels out there, and yours in particular for last night :). Maybe your experience with that driver helped wake him up so that he drives with more awareness.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness you are safe! You would be missed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great birthday - and I would love my name to be thrown into the box!
Rhonda, what a scary thing to happen! I'm so glad you are all right.
ReplyDeleteI would very much like to be in the drawing for the dove gray wool crepe--one of my favorite colors!
Rhonda, I am so glad you are okay--what a scary thing to happen.
ReplyDeleteI would very much like to be entered into the drawing for the dove gray wool crepe--a favorite color in my favorite fabric!
OMG.....close call :-( So glad you're ok...
ReplyDeleteOmg how terrifying!!! So glad you're alright. I know I don't know you but have a big huge virtual hug.
ReplyDelete(It seems crude to talk about mundane things like colours and giveaways after your scary near miss, but can I sit this one out, grey and I aren't good friends)
Gosh, what a mad thing to happen on your birthday (not that any other day would be great either...) Best wishes for the year ahead.
Wow - so sorry about your near accident. It sounds terrifying. Glad you are okay!
ReplyDeleteKeep me in the box!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a close call. I think I would have spewed some serious vulgarity at the person but that's me. I am so glad you are safe. Things like this underline that we were meant for something special and it just isn't time yet.
Very scary. So happy you are all right.
ReplyDeleteVery scary. So happy you are all right.
ReplyDeleteWhat a scare! Thank goodness you are all right.
ReplyDeleteGlad for the happy ending and a belated Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your scare!
ReplyDeleteI hope I win next! Beautiful color!

ReplyDeleteGlad you are OK. Put my name in for the fabric drawing.
ReplyDeleteI just checked you post now and was shocked to hear that you were almost hit by a car! Thank goodness you are OK. My in-laws were in a car accident earlier this year and it was traumatic for the whole family. I am also shocked to see I won too. Thanks!!! I'll contact you soon.
ReplyDeleteOMG, glad you weren't hit, Guardian Angels do exist.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, thank God and the angels for protection! Similar things have happened to both of my sons and myself at different times and places in our lives! I think when things like this happen it means our life soul growth and blessings purpose with others is not yet finished here on earth! I am so happy that you are still here to celebrate another birthday! I love your inspirations and easy quick DIY beautiful suave tres chic stylish sewing patterns and tutorials! Please keep me in mind for any giveaways! Thank you!
