LEADFOOT GETS BUSTED!

I have been telling my daughter repeatedly that her leadfoot is going to get her in trouble. Specifically it has now reaped her a nice $150 bill from the spencer county treasurer. I operated a motor vehicle for 19 years before I received my first and only speeding ticket. It took Brittany 15 months to achieve the same. Being her first offense, she will be able to have the ticket deferred, which means that should she manage to go lightly on the gas pedal for the next six months, there will be no record of this little event.

The incident took place on the interstate about 10 miles from home as Brittany and her boyfriend Stanley were heading home from Wendy's. You know we live in a pretty small place when the police officer greeted her at the window with a, "You're going a little fast there Brittany!" Frankly, I am a little surprised that she wasn't able to escape with a warning, being a cute, blue-eyed blonde, able to produce tears on demand, but apparently she was off her game just a bit. I must say that Stanley enjoyed it a good deal, seeing the girl he erroneously perceives as a 'perfect angel' getting her chops busted a bit. He came in the house waving the ticket with a pretty cheeky smile, while she sheepishly hid behind him. We are anxiously awaiting her write-up in the Spencer County Leader, where of course all law offender's receive due note of their deeds! We will make sure to save a copy for those who would like one.

I must apologize for my recent blogging hiatus. I think I've had writer's block or something. I mean, my life seems interesting enough to me, certainly never dull, but somehow I just haven't been able to capture it in words. Truth be told, I was kind of waiting until I could get an 18 on the internet putt, putt game so I could crow a bit and issue forth a challenge, all the while knowing that no one could ever beat me. But alas, my brother-in-law trumped me and robbed the fuel from my fire! Thank goodness one of my children has once again inspired me...
