Ditch delivered by a drab...

J found this in a ditch. She thought it was a doll's head. I think it was either a garden ornament or something out of a church. One of the main ditches runs right past the old mission church so I suppose a disgruntled priest might have flung a broken angel into the ditch. The water was running really fast in the ditch where she found it, so it could have been washed out of the mud. It doesn't look especially old, but it is fairly ingrained with mud.
Today is a red letter day indeed! A couple of days ago I actually got my van back from the body shop! It only took three months to get all the right parts after the Unfortunate Occurrance (not my fault)! It's enough to put you off VW for life. I have had the van for exactly two weeks since last September because of unobtainable parts. When I got it back the check engine light came on and the headlights started going off sporadically - not a good thing, and the brake ABS light kept coming on. I drove a hundred miles to the nearest dealership and a brilliant mechanic fixed the headlight and brake light problem with a new ignition switch and the check engine light was just a vacuum line so! At least for this brief moment I can say my true home, my van, is ready to fly off on any adventure I choose!
