On our way into the city, we were stopped at traffic lights when the car coming up behind us drove straight into the back of us! I was completely shocked. It wasn't too big a bump but it was enough to leave me quite shaken. Just as my husband was getting out of our car to talk to the driver behind, the cops pulled up - perfect timing! They took both of our details and descriptions of what had happened. They then proceeded to question the other driver futher and, after a few tests, they concluded that he was over the alcohol limit for driving. No wonder he drove into our stopped car!!
It makes me so disappointed that people continue to drink alcohol and drive. We were lucky that ours was only a minor accident but this man could easily have injured a child walking near the road or even worse! Some people are too selfish and do not think of those around them. I hope that at least this man will learn to become more responsible!

Good Morning Laura!
Thank you so much for stopping by my place this morning and leaving such a nice comment.
Sorry to hear about your accident. But I'm so glad to hear that you weren't injured. Shameful!
Love,
Julie
I just went back and read the rest of your posts. Great posts - all of them. I'm adding you to my side bar of blogs, if you don't mind.

Inexcusable!!! People are so selfish and immature and do not consider the consequences thier actions could have. If you're gonna drink, do it at home, or better yet not at all. How would someone feel if their child needed to be rushed to Emergency and they were too sloshed to drive them there. It's about responsibility. I am not completely against drinking but there are few people responsible enough do it the right way. Sorry for ranting but drunk drivers really get me fired up.
Laura, bless you in your new blogsite....You're doing a lovely job and I'm sure you will have great ideas to offer, decorating your new home and gathering new creative thoughts for it....I found your blog through Cyn's site and thought I'd send a comment...Yes, the thoughts of the world can be so sad, can't they? Anyway, I am from Michigan also, and love the 3 seasons...Winter can come for a week or so, and then go....lol...You have a blessed day and I look forward to reading your blog....Bonnie B.

ooooooohhhh ickeeeey!!!! (to quote another blogger )
Nice little introduction over at Nunnie's Attic...isn't she the best?
I so agree. To drink and drive is one of the most irresponsible things a person can do as well as being the most selfish. I am thankful ya'll were ok.
