Coffee anyone ?

@River Buffaloes My heart hurts for you. I wish I put my feelings into words, I think Bay did a better job than I have any hope of doing. Losing someone you know always feels weird, it doesn't matter how close you were, it just feels weird, and maybe empty. The emotions you will experience in the coming days are brutal, everyone blames themselves, when in reality it was nobody's fault. I wish there was something else I could say that would help, grief is a weird journey, and usually comes from the inside.

The truck’s lights were on high beam as Ron approached and it blinded him, he didn’t see the tree.

And therefore that person is legally liable for any damage and medical costs. There are laws regarding the use of high beams. In Texas:

• High beams must be dimmed when approaching traffic is within 500 feet.
• High beams must also be dimmed when following within 300 feet of another vehicle.

500' ... that is 1 and 2/3 football fields. At that distance he should not have been blinded.

River, I'm so sorry for you, the family and the community. I'm sure this will hit everyone in some way.

I also want to extend my condolences to you @River Buffaloes . @Baymule said it for most all of us I am sure. I pray for the widow and the little children.... once you get past the shock, and then the feelings of you should have done something, you will be able to grieve and with that hopefully be able to get some sleep and relax so your body can cope with the sadness.

It's always very sad to lose someone but, this will have no answers. You have acted as a good friend. I'm sorry for this stress to the village and you.

 

[River Buffaloes]

Thank you so much all of you, it's such a blessing to have friends like you. I am better this morning.

Coffee is on.
Took 3 mowers but the hay is cut.... a bushing failed on ours. So DH hooked up mom's...it's been setting since we moved it. It worked for awhile. Then he pulled out our old sickle bar to finish. He's been talking about replacing the bushing... guess it's a "got to now" job.
@River Buffaloes My sincere condolences.

Thanks for coffee this morning. Cool at 55 this morning, not gonna get past mid 60s but it's WET out there We had rain overnight. More off and on most of day and I am so happy to say that! It's even a nice slowish rain, calm and soaking. It's very welcome after over 3 weeks of high temps an no rain! This will soak in, not run off.

@promiseacres boo on breakdowns! Lucky you had any backup and glad it did get cut. Wonder why we couldn't have just one good day doing projects? Murphy's law?

Slept late, so need to get to chores pretty soon.

Our son showed up yesterday evening and we sat up past midnight. He left this morning. We went to Walmart, grocery shopping. DD and granddaughters coming tomorrow until Thursday or Friday.

Lovely here. Sun bright, a very crisp 44 and going to increase to mid 70s by late afternoon. The winds we've had for last 3 days are gone. Things are still wet but glowing! Grass is smiling and standing tall.... Me too. Saved my pastures.

Surprisingly, I had some shoes I had ordered, delivered yesterday. Sunday and a holiday weekend. Now I need to make myself NOT wear any of them to chores. . I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

Napped yesterday. Good day for it, overcast, cool and all that. Feel I need to do something more productive today.

I give thanks to all those veterans and current military for making it possible for me to love and enjoy my freedom in the USA!! Happy Memorial Day to everyone.
