Go figure....You ARE in good hands with Allstate.

You might remember way back at the end of November I wrecked our cars. Not my most shining moment, but if you've ever been in that situation, you know how a spilt second can go very wrong.

Anyway, our cars went off to the shop to be put back together. Allstate graciously (yeah, I know, we do pay for it...) provided us with a rental throughout December and into January. It took a looooong time to fix the Camry. And it took alot of money to fix the Camry. I am so very thankful we have insurance.

And what a great company Allstate is! I can't NOT recommend them, they've impressed me that much. As aggravating as it is being in an accident, it's very reassuring to know that you will be taken care of by those people you send money to every month. The final cost for both vehicles was over twelve thousand dollars. OUCH!

So - Go Allstate! =)

I wish I could post "after" pictures of the vehicles, but alas, it has been snowy or rainy or just plain yucky since we've got them back. I guess you'll just have to wait.

In other news....while the Northeast was getting smothered under mounds of snow, we here in Kentucky got a lot of rain and a heavy dusting. Fortunately, it was a nice, wet packing snow. Earl and Anna bundled up while Libby napped and I worked on taxes. (Turbo Tax rocks!)

Who needs a great big snowman when you can have a village of tiny snowpeople?


See Anna's hat? That one is from several winters ago. (As is her coat...and her pants...I really need to go shopping for new clothes for this kid. Anyone have a Children's Place coupon??) I am not altogether sure why she crammed her head into it, as it has now been handed down to the Terror Tot and Anna has a new one that fits. But oh well...


To be honest, my two snowbirds did roll up the majority of snow in the yard to create a large snow....thing. But to capture it in photographical form would have required me to find boots....and a coat....and a scarf...and...well...I'm feeling lazy today. ;-)
