Driving Miss Alyssa

Friends,

As we were driving today for our weekly Cefco run for snacks, we went through the infamous Gentry St. "S" curve at the top of the hill. Whenever we do so now, it reminds us of the trip we made up the hill a week or so ago when Alyssa was driving the van. As she was approaching the "S" she was crowding the line a bit and another auto was coming from the other direction. They kept on coming and Alyssa kept on crowding and then Kim and I finally hollered -- in unison -- "ALYSSA GET OVER!" She did so with several yards to spare, so it wasn't too close of a call...but, close enough. We said, "sis, what were you thinking?" She said the car was in her "blind spot." We said -- "What? The car was out the left side of your front window! Are you telling us that this is your blind spot?" She said she couldn't see it, (which has made us question how on earth Alyssa could have passed Divers Ed in WA). We were just teasing, of course. It may have been Aly this time, but it will probably be me, or Kim, next time. We have these funny moments that happen to all of us that cause us to be able to chuckle and just enjoy life. Praise the Lord that He gives us these moments of serendipity. Nonetheless, now whenever we pass through the "S" we have to say -- "Aly, do we see any cars coming into our blind spot?" Take care (and drive carefully because Aly may be coming toward you with her blind spot),
