We went to Panera for breakfast this morning. We had eaten our bagels then I looked up and saw part of the glass entrance-way fly off the wall. I thought the building was coming apart, but suddenly realized a car had jumped the curb and ended up totally in the restaurant. (Don thought it was an explosion as it did make a loud bang.) We were sitting about 4 feet from the front of the car, it pushed our booth in some, but we were not hurt. We had some glass on our table and in our coffee. The car and glass did hit a large table of women. One complained of glass in her eye and another said her head had been hit. News reports said 6 people were injured. The driver of the car was a young woman, she didn't get out of the car but don't think she was hurt.
I was really shook thinking of what might have been. We were about to leave and would have gone out the way the car came. If the car had been going much faster we would have been in the way. We feel very fortunate we were not hurt and hope the injured people will soon heal. I won't be sitting by windows any time soon.
The rest of the day was not so dramatic thankfully. We were going to eat dinner at the Apple Valley Cafe but it was closed due to the family being on vacation! So we went across the road to Culvers.
