A Birthday and a Crash

This weekend, John and I headed down to Breton Bay so John and his bro, Mike, could work on a couple house projects. We went down Friday night and had dinner with Mike and Jossy at Cerro Grande, a new Mexican restaurant that took over the former Nooks & Monks dinner theater at the town square. The food was very tasty!

Saturday, while I went to Target and the yarn store, the guys fixed the screen door on the porch facing the water. They replaced the screen and put up a metal doggie screen on the bottom half of the door. Mike's stepfather-in-law came by with his tractor and helped level out some trench digging that had been done about two years ago. It certainly took no time at all, compared to using a shovel!

Saturday evening, we all headed out to Arizona Pizza to celebrate Mike's 44th. I opted for the Mushroom and Tomato White Pizza. YUM!

Sunday morning, the boys put in a new (actually, used, but new to the house) dishwasher. We ate leftovers for lunch and then headed home.

John and I stopped by my parents' to help set up an EZ-Pass account for them. We walked in to find they were all banged up from a head-on collision Thursday evening. They were about two minutes from home when a guy failed to stay on his side of the road and slammed right into them. Apparently, while my parents were trying to grasp what had happened (crash, airbags, etc...), the driver of the other car got out and started running away. Thankfully, some folks in the neighborhood heard the crash and called for ambulances, where my folks were taken up the road to Holy Cross. They found out later the driver was DRUNK. I'm so grateful my parents are okay, despite their typical car crash aches and bruises. My mom had some injuries on her knees, but overall, they're doing as well as can be expected. Only time will tell if the back pains and such will be long lasting.

Did anyone get any sleep Sunday night with all the wind? We don't have any big trees near our house, but it sure sounded like the branches were smashing against our roof all night long! I didn't get much sleep. I'm hoping tonight won't be a repeat, as windy as it is!

Well, I'm off to eat some dinner, maybe work some more on my sweater (which is going to be too small (NUTS!)) and then get some shut-eye. Hope everyone had a good weekend!
