We finally found out yesterday that they totalled my van. We are pleased with the amount they are giving us for it, also. We were thinking it would be much less, as a van is worthless after driving off the car lot. So now we are car shopping or rather, truck shopping. We also have a Suburban and I will now drive it and my husband is going to get a truck to drive back and forth to work. I want to say that I always have my children in the car with me but on this very rare day I was alone. I am so thankful that it was not any worse than being a little sore and that my babies (17,14, and 11) were all safe and sound at home. I am also thankful for the very nice people who stopped to help and that the man who hit me was honest and nice. It just could have been so much worse but God is faithful!
Now to the good stuff, this is what me and my middle maiden did all afternoon yesterday. We made plates of goodies to take to the men who work for my honey and to our friends and neighbors for Christmas. We made plain fudge, peanut fudge, no bake cookies, butterscotch cookies, crock pot candy, and chocolate turtle cookies. I will also send them a home baked loaf of bread and some jelly. The little cookies with nuts around them and caramel in the center are the Turtles. They are soooo good.
I wrapped them in red Saran Wrap and will put a pretty little note card on top.
We will be car/truck hunting the next few days, if you think of us please say a prayer of wisdom, as we are seeking to do the right thing.Have a great day!!!!

OMGosh! Thank goodness you're alright! That is scary.
I am so happy you are safe but wish you would not have had an accident. Love your blog and hope you have a very uneventful day today.
I am so happy to hear you are ok! I have seen many accidents where people don't wear their seatbelts. I saw one today and lets say their family will be without them for Christmas.

Oh, Trixi, I'm so glad you're okay! And I'm glad your kids were not with you! AND I'm glad the insurance is doing right by you! : )
AND AND all those goodies make me want to get in my car and drive three hours just to eat some with you. : )
Oh I am so thankful you were not hurt. What a praise the Lord moment! And that your precious ones were not with you. Praying for wisdom for you all right now... we went through this last fall, so can empathize.
Blessings and prayers,

I wanted to take the time to thank you for being a regular visitor on my blog. I saw that you added me to your "followers" list...and I just want you to know how honored and grateful that our paths have crossed in this way, and that I count it a privilege that you visit me. God Bless you! I will be visiting you often, now that we are friends!
Oh My! My hubby's on the fire department, he was the chief of Leesburg and Branch Fire Departments. But resigned, because of work. He still goes on calls, and helps out surrounding fire depts. So we have scanners going off and I think he told of your accident, did not know it was you. Glad you are safe! have fun hunting a new truck. I total out ours 4 years ago, was upside down in a high ditch and couldn't get out. Finally I crawled up to a window, and got out on top of truck, then couldn't get off truck, for the high ditch. Finally help came. Its so scary! I love the turtle candy, want to share your recipe?
Am happy you are okay and that the kids were not in the car with you. Have fun looking for a new car and hopefully that will take some of the bad memories away! Merry Christmas!
Trixi, I'm so glad you're okay and that your kids weren't in the car either!!!!
Car accidents really are upsetting and scary.
I pray the Lord will provide exactly what you need, as I trust He will.
The baked goodies for you husband and his co-workers look awesome. I need to do that too.
Well, I just wanted to say I hope to get to know you and the others who follow my blog more in 2009. Thank you for your visits and kind words!
Merry Christmas to you and yours,

I am so glad that you commented. I have yet to "follow" my favorites or add people into google reader and I lost your blog URL. I spent about 45 minutes looking through old comments trying to find you to no avail. Haven't had as much blog time since we were in Fl but was TRYING hard to come say "hi."
I missed seeing what you were up to this Dec...so sorry to hear about the accident.
blessings on the search!
