Sunday driver

Don-Mike took Mother for a ride today in his blue Trans-Am. Nick & Don went in Nick's red Camaro. I think I jinxed them with this entry from another blog:

So, while my family is out enjoying a Sunday ride, I hope they are enjoying it & not broken down somewhere on the side of the road, I am nursing my headache.

At 5:41 this afternoon I got a call from Amber Hayes wondering where Mother was. She had a gift she wanted to give her. I told her about the ride & I was frankly getting a little worried about where they were. So, I said I'd call Don & call her back. I called Don asking where they were. Well, they were NOT along side the road, they were out in some field in Riverdale. I don't remember why, but they were on the old Riverdale highway. Don-Mike had passed a truck & then Nick decided to pass, just as the driver decided to turn left. Nick clipped her bumper & ended up out in a field. Don-Mike said he is amazed the car didn't roll.

The police were not called, but I've been thinking since, if he ended up in a field, was a fence broken? Will they be cited for leaving the scene of an accident? Nick can't afford another ticket & it was his fault. His license will be suspended for having too many points. Don says there was no fence, big sigh of relief. The other driver stopped & they exchanged insurance information.

So, Don-Mike came on home, stopped at Mother's & hared into the house because he had to pee so bad, leaving Mother to get out of the car herself. The door swung closed & shut her leg in it. She has this huge black lump on her leg. Amber was there & helped her in the house. Meanwhile Amber had started alternating ice packs & heat. Mother called me & wanted me to come right over. I wanted to see the damage on Nick's car. 

Don-Mike had come home, got the black Camaro off the flat bed trailer & gone to get Nick's car. I did wait until they got here with the car. There isn't much damage to Nick's car, but he is certainly depressed.
