Thank goodness your daughter was sleeping ... and not driving. We've had a few close calls over the years, too. The funniest (in retrospect) was the time we went to Dobbins to pick up some stuff my brother, who was in the Marines at the time, had shipped there. He'd come to visit us on leave, and we all piled into my old Mercury Commuter station wagon and headed that-a-way, with my hubby behind the wheel. We were kinda "exploring" the base, and he turned onto a little road through the hedges. Wouldja believe it dumped us directly onto the tarmac? Looking nose-to-nose with a monstrous-sized transport plane that was taxiing toward us??? OY!
