Luck is in the eye of the beholder

  Yesterday I posted that we weren't lucky at winning things but I said that we are lucky in other ways.  

   Today proved to us that we are indeed lucky.    As we were traveling home from our visit in NC, my husband fell asleep at the wheel.  Before we knew it, we were air born across the median strip and sliding into the opposing traffic's lanes.  With all that could have happened, we were not hurt.  No one in our two lanes hit us.  No one in the opposing two lanes hit us either, even though we sat in the middle of the road for several seconds.  With all the holiday traffic heading home the outcome could have been different.   God was indeed looking down on us.

   We had our oldest grandson with us and he was scared.  Thank God we all had our seat belts on. We didn't hit anything, so the body of the car is fine.  We did a lot of bouncing so something happened that caused the car to quit working.  Now we are sitting in a hotel in Summersville, WV until tomorrow.  Hopefully it won't take much to get the car running again.   

   Three different cars stopped to help and make sure we were okay.  One family even let our grandson sit in their car to stay warm.  All three cars stayed with us until they were sure we were okay and the emergency vehicle arrived.  

   We had Christmas presents hidden in the back of the Expedition and some of them landed in the seat beside my Grandson.  He wondered where the play dough came from.  We also bought one of those realistic kitties for my Granddaughter and it would meow every so often.  The car repair shop will probably think we have a cat in there.  I should have warned them about it.  It was still meowing when the car got towed away,

   Anyway, I'm writing a retraction to yesterday's post.  I am indeed lucky........ very lucky.  (And surprisingly our grandson wants to ride with us tomorrow.  But, he wants Grandma to drive.)
