At night, it is very easy for me to forget that I will have to wake up at 1 to go get my sweetiepie. The other night, I went outside and realized that I had left my windows open all night. That is not good!:( In our neighborhood that could be a haven for a little animal. Well, I looked inside and yelled at any kitties that might have been asleep in the car in the dark. Trying not to wake the neighbors.
As I drove down the block a storm came and there was alot of rain. Oh my, oh my, I would have been sitting in the water, if that storm would have come 15 minutes earlier. God takes care of every detail.
Driving in the darkness and the rain has become fun, out here in "the boonies". Home on the range, we are not, but there are deer and antelope playing in the night. I am learning the difference between driving 20 Mph and 25mph in the night so as not to incite a police report. LOL
I say to myself every night, Dad would have been right at home driving this slow. He drove as though he lived here all the time. I keep hearing him tell me take you foot off the gas and let it glide. That is a lesson. Everything is slower and fun and the minutes are 60 seconds long. We talk with fondness about the speed of "the Old Country"(where they will deport us to if we don't catch up to following the speed limits). Culture shock!
We are so use to the conveniences of modern life! Now we get things in a split second, washing machines dishwashers &vacuum cleaners. Do you remember washing out our underwear on that scrub board with that brown soap, then waiting for them to air dry. (That was backwards even back then)
