One of our daughters was left at Joy's mother's home by a friend. Melissa (our middle daughter) had assured she could guide her "Uncle Timothy" to our house.
She may have been able to do so - if it weren't for the fact that it had gotten very dark in the night. It was a 28- mile drive. Melissa said, "No problem" and off drove Uncle Timothy and her - without a clue of direction. Joy had given Timothy (her younger brother) basic directions and said call with any questions.
They made it out of Roswell and toward Norcross and Melissa said,"Now just look for some pastel houses and turn left"! He did! In about four hours and after they had invested over a dozen quarters in pay phones, they stopped. He got to a sign that said "Lawrenceville City Limits" and again called our home. I said, "pick a place - any place - and describe it and tell me the road you're on and I will meet you and take Melissa!"
Melissa was about 8 or 9 at the time and we've never let her forget those GREAT DIRECTIONS!
