...but it could have been worse! Coming up my street after picking up the mail, we were in the midst of a two-minute hail downpour. My neighbour, in his white pick-up, didn't see me as he backed out of his driveway, and I didn't see him. I distinctively recall commenting on the crazy weather as James began to yell at me to "Watch out, Stop!" Too late... we all experienced a jolt and then heard the horrible scraping sound of impact.
The children were all fine, while I was mortified that it had happened. My neighbour had never spoken to me before this, so it wasn't the best way to meet. So Nora and the boys have been in their first car accident, and I hope it's the last. I'm driving a rental van now, and feeling pretty paranoid about driving past my neighbour's driveway. Would feel so much better if his hedge would be trimmed down for actual visibility. Sigh...
