We almost didn't make it to Belfast for dinner. We had a truck start to pull out in front of us. A fast road.. I was perhaps doing a little over 60... and he was pulling onto the road from our right. He was only around a pole length away.. when he went. I slammed.. and swerved to the left.. and fortunately he stopped. :o :o :o

They had pulled in with their first truck load.. as we were leaving on the motorcycle... and when we came home a few minutes ago... seeing the lights on... :roll:

the folks are adjusting to new neighbors....taking awhile tho.....


yeah.. right now it is not the neighbor thing.. it is having someone else in her parents house. I am still not used to them being "gone" driving buy I still find myself looking to see if her mother might be outside.. :(
