Anyone who knows me knows I fall asleep at the wheel. Driving to the airport from my home and back is not something I could do without pulling over a million times. With that I would need to drink gallons of Coca Cola and eat Cocoa Puffs just to stay semi awake.
Anyone who knows my sister in law Diane knows she can do more in a day than most could do in a week. Diane is someone who lends a hand even when her hands are full, she gives without counting the cost and she can drive hours on end without blinking an eye.
My little family will be under her wing as she drives them to San Francisco to catch the plane back to France.
Note: The photo of Diane is from last summer. By the way I think the French word for sister in law is better. In French sister in law is "Belle Soeur," which means: Beautiful Sister.

Later note: The expression "when it rains it pours" hits home today! Northern California is experiencing a storm, not as bad as the one they had a few weeks ago, but nevertheless 55mph winds, the likes of a deluge that I have never seen. I wish we didn’t have to drive anywhere. Scary stuff! I am trying to convince my Mother that she cannot drive to the hospital today. I don’t want anyone on the road… I don’t know what car to get into: To drive with my sister in law to the airport three hours away, or to drive with my Mother (who is determine to go to the hospital)? Obviously I won’t fall asleep in the car today…when it rains it pours!
Later: A break in the weather, I came to the hospital with my Mother, and my sister in law took my family to the airport. All is good.
