Texting While Driving....Equals

If you text or read texts while driving 
PLEASE STOP!!
The photo above is my daughter's auto after being
being hit from behind, while she was sitting still, by a driver texting. 
 The driver never attempted to stop before impact. 
He was busy texting!

The three photos above are of the auto my son was driving last Thursday night. He was hit by a driver texting. The driver never attempted 
to stop before impact. 
She was busy texting!

Our Family Is Blessed!
While my daughter is alive and reasonably well she still suffers from excruciating
headaches and has developed 
a type of Neuropathy in her neck 
and the back of her head. 
My son is bruised, battered and is having vision problems in one eye. He had to be cut from the vehicle as the car bowed/bent and all doors were jammed. An EMT on her way to work was first upon the scene, summoned help and stayed by his side until he got to the hospital.
Yes, I believe in Angels!
He has been with us weekend and will continue undergoing evaluation in the days and weeks ahead.

We were the lucky ones. Many accidents caused by texting drivers end
in tragic deaths.

"Texting while driving likely caused more than 16,000 road fatalities between 2002 and 2007, a new study finds."
The study, which public safety officials say is yet yet another wake-up call about the dangers of cellphone use in automobiles, was released Thursday by the American Journal of Public Health. It comes on the heels of the US Department of Transportation’s second annual Distracted Driving Summit, during which Secretary Ray LaHood called for even more action to combat what he called a “unsafe, irresponsible, [and] devastating” behavior.
Distracted driving, Mr. LaHood said at this week’s conference, “is an epidemic. It’s an epidemic because everyone has a cellphone – and everyone thinks they can use it while driving. They can’t.”http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Society/2010/0923/Texting-caused-total-distracted-driving-deaths-to-rise-study-finds

Please share this post with everyone 
in your household who drives.
Ask them to take a 
"Family Pledge"
that they will
 NOT TEXT WHILE DRIVING!

NEXT TIME IT COULD BE
YOUR LOVED ONE!
Please remember my son Robby in your prayers.
I am sharing here:
While we are all trying to figure out what is going to happen with our non-blogger followers when GFC closes, I hope you will elect to click on one of the different options on my sidebar. I can be followed by GFC, Linky, Networkblogs, Facebook and Email. Your friendship is important and I want to keep in tough. Blessings, Ginger

Woodland Table

I had several pieces
that inspired this simple tablescape
For Two
 I picked up this basket many years ago at a consignment store.
I couldn't decide if the handle was wood or horn. With some help, I finally decided it is wood. 
 My son brought this adorable pitcher to me from
Yosemite National Park.

No, this is not a shoe for "bigfoot".
I bought this wooden bowl/plate from the same consignment store. 
It was made by Jack Carpenter
In Brasstown, N. C. 
Mr. Carpenter retired in September 2011
after being at the school for fifty years.
This is a facinating place 
you can read at the above link.

I have to mention "Bob's" Bob glasses. My daugher gave him a set and he loves to use them. 
This one says "Looking good Bob".
 I start with these neat placemats
embroidered with pinecones
From the Dollar Tree, yep, $1.00 each
 Natural woven charger with
Smith Taylor Smith "Sierra Brown"
 Taylor Smith Taylor salad plate
"Reveille"
 TST "Sierra Brown" bowl
The soup crocks were gifts from daughters in the
"Twelve Days of Christmas" spectacular of 2009
 Homespun napkins, gift from Kim.
I plan to jazz them up for another table.
 Flatware from Horchow. There are a lot of these
in blogland. I like the black that I have seen.

I dug up the ornamental cabbage from the flower beds. 
The fern is from the front porch 
and the Lantana is still blooming.
Since this was a table for two I put the fru fru at the other end of the table.
I already had the two natural orbs.
R. D.(red dog), my granddog and I enjoyed our walk to gather lichen. We also chased a few squirrels.
I even treed one, but R. D. made me move along.
 This litle log is actually a squirrel feeder 
turned votive holder. 
 Not sure my little friend is happy about the upcycling.



 Sweet little family but I wouldn't want
to mess with THEM in the wild!
