Thanksgiving

Back home again after a very thankful Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time visiting with Beth's family this year. We started out a bit rough with getting hit by another car on the way to Stratford. It was scary seeing the other car coming across the median straight at us. We are luck that Beth was able to move into the snow bank some (on our side) to avoid the head on crash. Luckily Beth, Denali and I all made out okay. Our prayers are with the other driver, and hopefully she is recovering well and was able to enjoy her holidays.

After getting to Beth's folks I took care of the insurance stuff then ran over to the Lee's to make some copies of the accident report we have to fill out for NY laws. It was great getting to see Chris, Ma, and Don. After visiting I headed back to the house just in time to go for a walk with Beth behind her house and pond to bring back the 5-pointer her father had just nailed. We brought it back to the house and then enjoyed the fruits of the labor last night. Love fresh venison. (sorry Rudolph). On Thanksgiving we enjoyed the family visits. Then for Black Friday it was a trip up to Old Forge with Beth's mom. While we didn't purchase anything, the drive was well worth it.

Yesterday I went for a drive around Little Falls while Beth visited with her mom, I had one of the largest coyotes run right alongside my car for about a quarter mile then turn and cross the road in front of me. I know they are a nuisence (sp?) but this one was just gorgeous. The trip back went without incident and we are mentally preparing ourselves for the week ahead. We have a lot to do, and having to deal with the car issues is not something we were expecting, but hey. It's all good and that's why there is insurance.
