Greys & Things

I am basically a boring person.  I don’t drink, I don’t party.  One of my favorite things to do is just stay home and have “family day” with my dogs and my husband.  Pretty boring, right?

The wildest thing I have ever done is drive from my home in Missouri to Florida with just my dog.  My husband was in Florida on business and I was unemployed, so I decided it would be fun to drive to Florida to meet him with our dog, Sami.  Sami was a cocker spaniel and she loved to travel.

At that time, I had one of my favorite cars.  It was a red, two-door, Dodge Shadow.  I loved that car.  We actually drove it on several road trips including trips to South Dakota and then again to Colorado.  It was a small car to be driving across the country, but it was a lot of fun and I remember it fondly.  It later was totaled when a van towing a utility trailer ran over the front of it and drug me down an embankment.  That’s a story for another time.

This trip to Florida took place 14 years ago.  There was not GPS back then and I cannot read a map worth a darn. My map reading skills have caused many arguments with my husband while we are traveling.   How did I think I would make it to Florida?  I was young and naive and I had AAA route out my trip.  My AAA maps worked out well until I got overconfident on a toll road.
