It has been nearly a week since I posted a blog. It has been a very busy week. I watched my youngest daughter get the prestigious A pin from USU and I buried my Mother. We travelled about 800 miles total for those two events and they were on back to back days so things were busy.
Last night coming home from the funeral I was cruising through the canyon when a deer appeared in the headlights---I realized when I stepped on the brake and tried to get stopped that it wasn't going to work and I was going to hit the deer broadside. I swerved to the right to miss it and missed it by about two or three inches - then turned back into the lane and continued down the road. If the deer had moved at all---any direction---I would have hit it. It has been a long time since I saw a deer stand totally still for any period of time...I am thankful I didn't smack it.

That is so awesome about the A pin!! She's such a great girl! I'm sorry about your mother, I know you will miss her! And how scary that you could've hit that deer, I'm so glad you didn't and you also didn't lose control of the car, I'm grateful for small miracles like that!
Someone must have been praying for you guys!
I'm glad you made it home safely. I'm sorry that you'll miss your Mom. (The healthy mom.)
Deer are scary! I'm glad you didn't hit and made it home safe!
It was very scary and jump-started my heart quite a bit! I don't know how we didn't hit her, I was sure we were going to.
Wow - close call! Glad you guys made it home ok.
