Well we had a mini adventure today..Azia had her school spelling bee, and they picked a location that was an hour away in a town I am unfamiliar with. So naturally I went on line popped in the address and got turn by turn directions. They seemed straightforward enough so I didn’t worry.
I got all the kids packed up and we were one our way with an hour and a half to make the trip.
It went fine.. that is until we got to the very last turn. I could not find the road.
I went up Broadway till I decided I had gone too far, and then turned around. I went back down Broadway past the highway the other direction in case the turn left actually should have been a turn right.. it wasn’t. Then I took one more stab at another direction and that.. well that didn’t work out either.
So I pulled into a nice quiet cul de sac and called Brian.
After a little trouble (me giving him the wrong town name) he pinpointed my location on his computer and saw the problem immeadiately. I had missed the turn because the intersection was one of those annoying K shaped interesections. I new the one leg of the K was Columbus road, but had seen no signs that said the upper leg of the K was Center.. the road I wanted.
So he gave me some nice turn by turn directions live, cause I took a few more wrong turns and it all worked out.
Azia got to her spelling bee, ended in the top six, and was knocked out by the word chocolate! AHHH She cannot be MY child!
Anyway. All’s well that ends well, and safe and not out of gas in the middle of nowhere.
Last night was a blast! We had two new members in our knitting group. I worked on my sock on my little sock loom. Nancy had forgotten her crochet hook so she played with my knitting board, and added a good two inches to my work! It is soo nice being a loom knitter.. people think it is a novel thing and they want to try it.. so you can always get someone to do a little work for you!!
There is a picture for Lucia!!
