Working toward a Prius (or Pious, as Dan calls them)

Good morning, everyone. It has been a long time since I posted, and since it is a very quiet Sunday morning, I thought I would catch up. We have already had an eventful holiday week-end! Last night I ran to Meijers with Janneke and Anne. As usual, we had no time to spare because Mom and Dad were on their way to our house so that we could have dinner together. We stopped to pick up pizza for the kids when we finished at Meijers, and were headed home along Muskegon Lake when a young girl who was parked along the side of the road, pulled out to do a u-turn right in front of me. I hit her driver's side door good and hard. The girl in the other car complained of a sore neck, and was taken by ambulance, but I checked this morning, and she was released and is fine. Our car was towed, with air bags (and the stink that comes out with them) deployed and we will wait to hear if it is totaled. I've been dreaming of a hybrid for quite some time, and though unintentional, we are likely one car closer to getting one! Hope you are all well~the cottage is coming! Arlene
