Last Saturday, I headed out at 4AM to meet up with my chicken show buddy, John Womack at 4AM. About 5 miles from the house, I realized I had forgotten my phone, so I took the next exit off I-20 to turn around and grab my phone. Well, when I got back on I-20, there was a pick up truck in the passing lane next to me doing some swerving and "wiggles", which got my attention. But, when I looked up, there was this big deer 5' off my hood. Nothing to do, but pray and I did.
Here are some pics of my car after "meeting" that deer.

I made it back to the house and Barry helped me move everything over to our van and I headed back out to meet John..with my phone, of course.
I was notified yesterday by my insurance company that the car was totaled. We had already anticipated that, so already had our financing for a new car set up. Now it was time to do some serious car shopping!
Here is what I brought home this afternoon...all ready to go to the Ohio Nationals in a few weeks!

Of course, I did make it to the Anniston show Saturday, but I wouldn't have made it through the day without help of my friends! Lindsay Helton...thank you!!
