Your Most Valuable Possesions



We had just gotten back from our day-off errands. We were snacking when we heard the crunch in the front. Cars often get swiped on our Street, so we went out to see who's it was. And it was Peter's 8-month old car (well, it's a '95, but it's only 8-months old to us)! The girl wasn't even going too fast, but moved the Civic 20 ft. down the road, with the E-Brake on and it's a gonner. Her car too. She was decently nice, has good insurance, and it will be fine. We've got the rental that day and hope to hear what the amount we get it. We were surprised how un-angry we were. Although we think it was a hate crime, notice she only hit the Canadian side of the car? Not the US side. And on Victoria Day!

Then, 18 hours later, I'm walking laundry out and while holding the laundry basket, my hand swipes the broken breaker box that is always cutting everyone. I drop the laundry and look at my hand to see the cut. A second later I'm panicking on my hands and knees looking for the diamond that got ripped out! So sad! We have insurance to protect this also, so again, it's ok. Just inconvenient. And I'll be ring-less for a couple weeks. Sad.
