From One Chick to Another..

I really didn't learn anything new...weird. But I had fun. I bought some new icing tips which I am always excited about.



Have a good day.

I am a little stiff this morning. A bit sore in the back!
I can't decide if it is from a long day of fishing, or from what took place yesterday evening...

Yesterday morning, after I got the kids fed their breaky...I finished the cake for my friend's daughter's wedding shower. You can see the invite there. (another good friend created that one.)
I made the flip-flops on Saturday (out of Marshmallow Fondant) to dry them for yesterday.


After I was all dressed and ready, Peter & I headed off to go fishing on Calabogie Lake.
It was gorgeous there. I caught not one single fish, but I did snap up some nice pics. The view was gorgeous.

Even Peter only caught one fish.
We spent hours there, but I think it was more for the ambiance than for the fishing.


We got home just in time for me to get the kids lunches for the following day ready, I had a bath, and got ready to go to the shower.
Amanda & I left to go, and I decided I would actually "buckle-in" the cake.
I put the seat belt around the box, and it is a very good thing I did this.
As I headed down Cedar Hill Side Road...just at the bottom of the hill, out from the ditch sprang a huge deer buck!!! He had a huge rack on him.
There was no time to swerve to avoid him, he jumped out right as I was passing that spot, so I struck him! Amanda shreiked...then cried in shock. The deer flew up onto the hood rolled, up & over down the back of the car...then landed on the ground behind the car. There are skid marks on the road as I must have, thankfully, instinctively, slammed the brakes. . In shock, I asked Amanda if she was ok...which she was, she wasn't hurt.
I got out of the car..the deer had already gotten up and ran off into the woods across the road. I went over to where I saw one of the car mirrors on the ground...as well as a small tip of the deer's antlers. I picked up the mirror and the antler bit. Then I went across the road to see if I could spot the buck...which I couldn't. I really hope that if I injured him badly enough that he would die quickly and not suffer. If not, I hope I didn't do too much damage. He was a big boy. And Thanks be to GOD!, we were not hurt, the windshield was NOT smashed, the damage was minimal. A small dent on the right side of the car where I connected with the deer.
I still go over & over in my head how it took place. There was NO way I could have spotted him from a distance. He was well hidden in the deep ditch.
I just know that had I not buckled in that cake, it would have been on the floor! That was the most interesting thing! I went back home to show Peter the car, to make sure I could continue on and he gave it a good look-over saying that it was safe to drive.
It was then that I asked Amanda if the cake was ok...I totally forgot about it!
She & I both were amazed about my fore-thought to buckle it in. I would say that was divine inspiration..wouldn't you?
So...I just pray that this doesn't happen again -EVER! Drive safe everyone!
