Something Old...Something New...Something Borrowed...

I had had a bad week last week, so Charles decided to surprise me with some cheery sunflowers...

which were beautiful!

However, on his way back from Blossoms, he stopped to get gas, and now his old Altima looks like this...

Thank goodness for sports talk radio, because if Charles had not been listening to something of interest on it, he would have been out pumping gas...

when the 2 cars collided, sending one airborne and colliding into his car. That car pushed Charles' car up and plowed into the gas pump which Charles had stopped at, turning it on its side.

The crash was so violent that it took all but 2 petals off of my third sunflower...

Charles said that the flowers were in the back of his car but that after the crash, the petals from this sunflower were all strewn around the front seats.

Thankfully, Charles walked away with just a black eye and sore leg, neck and back.

This little sunflower did more than cheer me up, it showed me how much I have to be thankful for!

So, for about a week, Charles has been driving a borrowed vehicle...

Since the rental vehicle has to go back, we spent Good Friday looking at cars, and at the end of the day, drove home in something new...
