A Priceless Moment

While en route to the Bearcat game last Saturday Clara showed how truly aware of every situation she is. As we merged from I-29 onto Hwy. 71 to Maryville my dad's van made a clunking sound, lost all power and coasted to a stop. We pulled over, tried turning the key, but nothing happened. In that moment of silence when we were all sitting there simultaneously wondering "what now", Clara put an exclamation mark and some comic relief in the moment with a booming "Uh-Oh!". Mary and I sometimes wonder if she is existing in her own little egocentric world, but we are coming to understand how much of her environment she absorbs and understands. Anyways, we were towed to Maryville, got to see a great game, spend some time with good friends, and Sarah came to the rescue by driving up to get us. It turned out to be a really nice day.
