OoPs!!!

Okay, it finally happened....that big OOPS!

You see every year somehow or some way it seems my Mr. dings his truck!  He always justifies it by saying...he does travel over 60,000 miles a year with his job.  Sometimes, it's when he's traveling ...like once due to icy roads, sometimes, it happens doing "farm things" like turning the horse trailer too sharp and knocking out the back window...sometimes, it's farmer's market related and happens during all freezer loading and unloading.  His poor truck just always seems to have a dent somewhere.

Well, sadly enough, I added to that this weekend.  It was on Friday and I was pulling into the Pendleton market parking lot to check in...I was going to the very end of the lot to park next to another farmer I know, as I was pulling across I looked over to the check-in station and someone caught my eye...I had to look again to make sure it wasn't an old friend...and all of a sudden there was a loud crash...my helper girl Alyssa (who had been sleeping ) woke up, sat up straight and said..."What is happening" as we both look forward and see a light pole starring at us! Yep....I had ran into the concrete base of the light pole....HOW...???  Well, I guess it all had to do with being noisy and looking elsewhere...thinking I was past the pole and not realizing I was headed for it  :(   Ughhhhh....of course I immediately jumped out...as others came to make sure I was okay and help pick up a cooler of meat that had been jarred out and spilled.  We were both okay...but, I was afraid to look at the front of the truck.  Finally, I got up enough courage to do so....and it appeared okay, I could only see a dent in the bottom part of the fender...the grill and lights were all okay!

So, I headed to check in....drove down to the market street...hearing the tires rubbing some...got set up and called my Mr. to tell him.  It was all good...he totally was cool with it....(mmmm.....maybe because he has done made his own dents several times)  and, besides how fast could I have been going anyway???  He was worried it was because I was too tired....but the true confession is ...I was being tooooo noisy  :D   Of course, I had every male vendor I knew at the market looking at it and checking it out...and they all said it would be fine to drive, that the bumper had been jarred off track and was just rubbing on the tire a bit.  No worries I would make it home fine...and I did...and my Mr. was able to drive it to Pasco to the Saturday markets!

So, there that was my OoPs!!!  The first time in the 23 years of marriage that I've dented one of our vehicles....and so, praying the last time tooo!!!  God is good, and Alyssa and I are fine, the truck is driveable until the autobody shop can get it fixed...and we still were able to finish our market weekend!   I am however, just a LOT paranoid about keeping my eyes straight ahead on the the road only now  :D  Which in hindsight is totally a GOOD thing to be paranoid about  :D

So, even in the midst of  my Oops...Sweet blessings were everywhere!!!!   Wishing everyone out there safe driving this week....and a week free of Oops...but, overflowing with many Sweet blessings!

Welcome June...15th!

Welcome June....   :)

How can it already be June 15th!  Wow...time just seems to be going full-speed ahead!!!

June has been so filled so far.....
~Unpredictable weather...a little rain, some wind, a few thunderstorms, a sunshine break, and it all happening over & over again  :D

~ Farmer's Markets are ALL going full swing...what does that mean??  Well, it means from Thursday afternoon until Saturday afternoon you can find me displaying Pat~n~Tam's Beef somewhere  :D  Actually, my Mr. has been traveling a LOT with his full time job..so, it's just been me and a couple helpers going everywhere...Kennewick, Richland, Pendleton, Pasco, Hermiston....and, by Saturday afternoon...I'm simply ready to curl up and not move for the rest of the day  :D  Believe this or not...I don't even feel like talking or visiting..ha,ha....I guess that's one plus from the crazy schedule..there are actually moments where I just want to be quiet  :D

~ My planters have been filled with the beautiful colors of flowers...(trying their best to survive all the wind!)
~ My to-do list is growing smaller...
~ And, my List of Life events has been happening...Yay!  Which means Sunday afternoon barbecues with friends, family over for dinner, and catching up for afternoon visits with precious friends! 

That's what I've LOVED most about June...the time to INVEST in those I cherish and love...those that really MAKE life! 

Oh, and finally....I started exercising again!  Not exactly on the top of my list of things I want to do...but one of those things you find necessary when you're in your 40's ...ha, ha!!!  :)

So, all in all...so far June has been filled....with many great moments, and times that will forever make my heart smile!  So wishing each of you is finding June to be filled to overflowing with many Sweet blessings!!!
