    Update. (7-9-09) The “one” in which Ms. Cat explained is still in ICU has been moved into her own room now. She is doing great and better than expected. She suffered a brain injury from the impact of the hit. Other than a few fractures all is pretty well. Thank you for all the prayers, we definitely apprectiate them!

    People —PLEASE be more careful. Look twice or even three times. The traffic on 113 is High speed and the people traveling it are mostly going from city to city and in a hurry. They are moving much faster than you think. Take a moment to wait for them to pass and while you are waiting whisper a prayer for those traveling folk………………
