You Can’t Get there From Here…Part II
If you read last week’s blog post, “You Can’t Get There From Here,” you know Mike and I drove to Ohio from Florida vis a new route. The first part of the drive was beautiful. But it turned somewhat complicated…at least at the end. I should have trusted the GPS. Just sayin’…
The week was great. We accomplished all we intended to do and then some. So, since Sunday is a good day to travel, we headed south toward home early Sunday morning. We were packed and ready.
The plan was to head South on I-75 early and stop somewhere (Read: probably Buc-ees) for breakfast. The weather was good, the traffic was light. We had everything we needed. We knew the route. Interstate 75 South. Easy.
I take that back. We found a McDonald’s, ate breakfast, and made a plan.
Since we weren’t very far from our home in Ohio, we headed back. There wasn’t much at our house by way of groceries and it was Sunday, so daughter Allison came over and took me to the store.
On Monday, Mike found a Ford Dealership, dropped off the truck, and brought home a rental vehicle. We tried it out with a trip to Bass Pro Shop. Mike didn’t find anything, but I came home with three new blouses.
We’re not upset. Inconvenienced, maybe, but not totally frustrated. We’re counting our blessings.
One: We have a comfortable home in Ohio, so we’re not waiting this out in some cramped hotel along the interstate.
Two: We like our Ohio home…even if we don’t have cable TV.
Three: We’re close to family.
Four: We have cell phones. (What did we ever do without them?)
Five: Uh…well, four good things is enough. Anyway, soon, we know we will be heading back to Florida. In the meantime, we will enjoy the beautiful sunshine here, family, and watching M.A.S.H. on our limited television reception.
And praising God we have a place to land.
