Ending 2011 with a crashed car!

What a great way to end the year...without a car! But I guess I would rather end a year with a totaled car than to begin a year with one!

It happened Tuesday night. It was the first snow of the year. Living in the snow belt of Ohio, this is a rare occurrence as we have usually been buried a few times by now. 

I  let my wonderful son (who is highly disguised to protect his identity!) use my car. All was well ....

UNTIL it started to snow.

Roads got covered in slippery, wet, slop

A little slipping...

a little sliding......

a little big telephone pole in the wrong place....

and car loses to telephone pole and lands in ditch. 

Bye bye 1994 Toyota Corolla. We had good times....lots of miles....little repair required....good mileage....you were awesome.  I will miss you...terribly.

Younger brother with nice shiner....

And so I happily say goodbye 2011 - hello 2012....but how will I get to work on Monday???

Today, RUFF RHYMES is dedicated to my friend Tammy from Earlybird454 on Etsy, 

who lives in Texas and SHOULD be having nice warm weather! Instead, she is having frozen pipes and perhaps a little snow! 

Cold and raw the north wind doth blow
Bleak in the morning early,

All the hills are covered with snow,

And winters now come fairly.

And now....the adapted version of the poem:

Cold and raw the north wind doth blow

Bleak in the morning early,

The Texas hills are covered with snow,

But the Doxies all play fairly!

Stay warm, Tammy!
