My Accident and Miracle


Part 1
 

 

On Tuesday, March 6, 2007, I was involved in a miracle.  So much of it is clear like it was yesterday and yet, sometimes I feel like it was all a dream.

 

I still remember the taste of the homemade pasta salad that I had for lunch around noon on March 6, 2007.  I have not made that recipe since.  I also
remember the chocolate chip cookie I had.  I’m sure it was a pregnancy must-have, as I was about 6 months along with my baby girl. 

 

It’s funny the things we remember sometimes.

 

At 1:00 p.m. I took a little nap while 3 year old son, rested quietly in his room.  It was a very good nap because I overslept by 5 or 10 minutes.  When I woke it was past 2:00 p.m.and it was time to go get my oldest daughter from Kindergarten. 

Because I was a little behind schedule, I rushed my little son out the door. I later thought what would have happened if I had left at my usual time . . . but I try not to think that way.  It’s useless and doesn’t change anything.

 

March 6, was a BEAUTIFUL spring day in Little Rock, Arkansas!  No jacket was needed.  The sun was out, birds were chirping.  I decided to leave our car at the Otter Creek Park that was just down the street from my daughter’s school (Otter Creek Elementary).  Since it was a nice day, I knew the kids would enjoy a little walk and some time at the park.  I had just enough time to get there before the school bell rang.

The Otter Creek Park where we had planned to play

 

 As usual, I clasped my son’s small hand with my right hand.  I always wanted him to be on the side that was furthest from the busy street—I’m kind of a safety freak.  We strolled peacefully on the sidewalk together talking about 3 year old things, like Buzz Lightyear and race cars.  As we approached the bridge that crossed over the big Otter Creek ditch, I noticed a small butterfly fluttering in the clump of trees next to the bridge. 

“Look, a butterfly.  The bugs are starting to come out,” I said pointing to the trees.

That moment is that last thing I remembered . . .

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
