Karen and Rudy moved into their new home now. Karen had taken a few boxes over there Friday, and did a little cleaning. She decided to go back to the other house and get a few more boxes to move over. Her driveway at her new house backs right out into traffic on a main highway where the speed limit is 60MPH. She backed out and didn't see a pick up barreling right at her. It hit her dead on - on the driver's side - and totaled her car! The air bag blew up. Spun her all around. There was smoke, so she was afraid her car was going to catch on fire. She shoved on the door and got herself out. The firemen, ambulance, policemen and neighbors and passers by were all right there to help her. No one could believe she got out of that car with out the help of the Jaws of Life. No one could believe she wasn't hurt, or even dead. I believe, and so does she and several people there, that it was a miracle. God protected her for sure. They hauled her car off on a flatbed. She had her wits about her, even though she was pretty shook up and scared, to take pictures with her phone of everything. The guy in the pickup said he had a broken leg, but then she saw him running across the highway to talk to the policeman. No broken leg. She took his picture. She took pictures of the huge snowbank that blocked her view - a snowbank left by the snow plows. She took pictures of the car, the pick up, the skid marks - everything. I would never have had enough wits about me to think of that, I don't think. Good for her. She got the ticket, though, and the police said it was her fault. Please pray that she is not sued and that somehow this ticket can be erased from her record. And prayers of Thanksgiving for her life and that she is all in one piece after such a terrible accident. And that the guy in the pickup is okay, too!
At least she met her new neighbors. She made a grand entrance into her new neighborhood, I guess!

Thank God Karen is okay. And the other driver too. Nothing like making a grand entrance. HELLO, I'M HERE, YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. Karen, I love you. I am glad, so glad you are okay. I will pray for your situation. Maybe you all should back into your driveway so you can just pull right out.
Except, how do you back in from a main highway with 60mph speed limit? If possible, you and Rudy need to spot each other.
I am offering a prayer of thanksgiving that Karen is okay. I do wish you'd get checked over by a doctor anyway, Karen, just to be real sure. What a frightening thing that must have been for you. I am sorry you had such an experience.
I hope you really are O.K. I know every time I was in an accident (12 of them) I was really sore over the next 24-48 hours after the accident. You were probably in shock, but how smart of you to take pictures of everything! I am so glad that you're O.K. I am saying a Thanksgiving prayer right now. Love Ya!
Thank God you are OK! How frightening that must have been. Yikes! What are you using for transportation now/
Rudy's parents gave us a car a few weeks ago. Good timing on that one! I have not been sore or anything...except the usual aches and pains that I had before.
I was not backing out of my driveway. THe driveway goes onto Old Dyden Road, and then onto RT 13 (the busy road of 65mph). I was crossing RT 13 from Old Dryden Road.
Oh, I'm sorry - I heard you wrong. It's such a miracle that you are okay. Not even any new aches and pains. Amazing! Thank you, Lord, for watching over our Karen!
Yes, Thank you Lord for not adding any more problems to Karen!
I meant "for Karen", not "to". Karen just moved into a new home, close to work, in a town she likes, with neighbors and everything, and this is all good. May it just keep getting better for her and Rudy.
