We went wedding dress shopping with my sister-in-law, Dusty's sister, who got engaged last week. She tried on one on Saturday, and tried on a bunch more today. She wound up picking the one she tried on Saturday. First pick is usually it. :)
On the other hand, while we were there my mother-in-law got a terrible phone call that her sister-in-law, Dusty's aunt, was hit by a car while on a Ranger (similar to a Rhino...pretty much an off road golf cart). She was turning into her driveway after riding only about a quarter of a mile from her husband's shop. She turned left, and was broadsided by a teenage driver who passed two other cars that had been slowly following her. Her husband heard the crash and was one of the first ones on the scene. She was gone before the ambulance got there. This man has lost his mother in December and now his wife. This is just a horrible tragedy and I would appreciate all prayers. Please pray for Terry, her husband, Randall, her son, and her grandchildren. She was only in her mid 50's.
Thankful for days like these that make me remember and appreciate the days like yesterday.
I think difficult times bring out the best in the good days. Maybe gilds the edges of the good with the remarkable best God has for us. Roses always smell sweeter, spouses are more treasured and kids are more lovable.
