Lest We Forget

---

This old gal…

Has decided…that that drive to her winter home away from home…some 1,040.2 miles….is akin…to childbirth…painful…exhausting…bite-your-tongue-before-you-snap-at-your-partner…kind
of experience…

GPS blue line made it look easy…a nice back road drive…supposedly 16 hours long…we can do this…says that husband of mine…in two days…

This old gal…excited to get there…the relaxing…peaceful outcome…of the grueling trek…somehow softened the memories of the drives…that had come before…

That 16 hour GPS blue line eventually becoming an old people…25 hour…GPS blue line…never quit me…only two hours away…threw in the towel…pulled the plug…made Comfort Inn and Suites…our next destination...

The memories of rush hour…at night…during rain…flooding back…loud and clear…

So next year…dear friends and family…when this old gal and her mister foolishly think they are driving super heros…you are given permission…to grab these old lady shoulders…do the double fake slap to the cheek thing and say…get a grip old broad…remember last time…
​
And this exhausted husband of mine…agrees…
