I was 19 0n a beautiful Sunday afternoon when a drunk driver crossed the center line doing 65 mph, hitting my Dodge Dart head on. She walked away with some minor cuts. It took the EMTs and the Jaws-of Life to get me out of the wreckage of my little sedan.

Back in March, Sandra from 12 Novels in 12 Months nominated me for the Versatile Blogger Award and I failed to do the requisite thank you and pass it on post. Better late than never though, right…?

Versatile Blogger Award
Many thanks to Fel Wetzig at The Peasants Revolt! (http://www.scotzig.com) for my first Versatile Blogger Award – totally amazed and very grateful. The Award is really surprising as I struggle to blog as often as Fel and many others.

Today began by attending “Cowboy Church” held at a local horse ranch. Thank you, Dave and Dolly, for organizing this “alternative” Sunday worship which brought us together in a humble setting - a horse barn.
