Good and Bad

Yesterday we drove to Bangor, Maine and went to Bangor Mall.  The mall was not as big as we hoped.  I shopped for a while and we booked into the Holiday Inn (we had quite a problem finding the hotel and Bangor is not that big) for the night. We went into "downtown" Bangor a little later. One store, a couple of pubs and that's it for downtown Bangor.  The good news is - we found the Timmies right up the street from the hotel.  Life is good.

Today was a boring drive up through Maine to the US/Canada border.  There were a hundred signs warning about moose, some with flashing lights.  I was so worried we would run into one, I had my eyes glued to the road the whole way, which interfered with my knitting plans.
We got to Club Vacances Toutes Saisons near St Anne de Beaupre with no trouble.  Then the bad part started!!!!

When we got to our condo, there was one of the workers' golf cart parked in our spot.  She tried to pull out but her battery died and she couldn't.  We just parked beside it until she could clear out  We brought some stuff into our room.  Joe went outside for more while I was having a pee.  I came out and put some stuff away and saw that he had taken out one of our pillows.  I'm thinking "why would he take a pillow?"
Then I heard a weak, "Bonnie".  I went outside to see Joe lying in the ground beside our car with a pillow under his head!!!  There were a couple of men standing by, and I said "Oh, my God, what happened?"  What had happened was, one of the employee's was backing a van up behind the car and didn't see Joe getting some stuff out of the trunk and he hit him.  Joe was pinned between the 2 cars and was yelling "Go forward, go forward!!!" He was hit in the legs, mostly one leg.  The driver was very upset and so sorry, he didn't know what to say.  They had already called and ambulance and the manager was there.  They wouldn't let Joe move, although he said he thought he was alright..  The ambulance came and they checked his leg, and his blood pressure and he was able to stand.  The men brought all our stuff in for us and we came inside for a drink.  A few minutes later the manager came to the door with a voucher for a free dinner for us "on the house".  We will take advantage of it tomorrow, although I don't think it was necessary for Joe to go to that extreme just to get a free meal.  Tonight we will just try to relax and see how Joe's leg is.

On top of all that it has been cloudy and a bit drizzly and cool.  Better times ahead.  Joe's okay but I am still shaking.
