Yes!!! We are on for the weekend of the 18th.<br /><br />MPM-Thank you for reminding me of qwah. Middle Sister is coming to visit next weekend, and I'll pepper it generously throughout our conversations.<br /><br />CF-Normally I drive slow as well, however this would have been a spectacular shot and I simply had to get to it in time. Oh well.<br /><br />Lynne M. - Horn honking and bird flipping is aggravating indeed, but thankfully it's a rarer occurrence than in my former place of residence...Northern Va. Oh, how awful it was to drive up there and the horns and the birds were routine and rampant. Speaking of Route 17/stoplights, there was a time in the not-so-distant past, when there were only a couple stoplights between the courthouse and the bridge and it was possible to just zip down the road lickety split. Not any more.<br /><br />Ms.SeaBreeze - Please tell me you didn't stuff your pregnant self, a mother, an uptight ex husband and two kids in a Pinto!! Say it isn't so. Sure did love that car, as I keep saying over and over again.<br /><br />B- HAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! Yes, I seem to recall that someone DID drive through the courthouse with cornstalks coming out the windows. Headlights were optional back then, as was common sense. Several sodas were consumed that night, I do believe. Oh, what a story that night was. The cornstalks were NOTHING compared to what else happened. Middle Sis can attest to that. I had no idea (or else I just forgot) that you saw us. Too darn funny.<br /><br />Momx2 - Sounds like you have my luck except if you didn't get a ticket yours is better than mine.<br /><br />It's the weekend. Yee haw.

Do you slosh the soup on those "winding, unparked and oh-so-narrow roads"?<br /><br />Last year BHE, SW and CG were on our way home from VA Beach (you know I-64 gah!) and we were following this woman in the left lane who would. Not. Get. Out. Of. My. Way. It was summer so there was a lot of traffic and not enough room to pass her. After about a bagillion miles or so, she finally! pulled over to the right lane. I nailed the gas, only to be pulled over by VA's finest :( He pulled me AND the guy behind me. Fortunately he didn't give me a ticket. It did get me to slow down (a little). And it gave BHE something to laugh about (ALOT).<br /><br />Happy Friday!mom x 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15115720645603075732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-66704325814002982472009-06-19T14:36:12.467-04:002009-06-19T14:36:12.467-04:00Just think of the irony!

If I wasn’t mistaken I could have sworn I saw corn stalks flailing in the wind under the moon light as she passed me by. I can’t be for sure now, it was hard to tell being that she was driving without any lights. I think she could have even been sipping on a soda, if you know what I mean. This can’t be the same woman who delivers meals on wheels.<br /><br />BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-30969283405433879752009-06-19T13:01:53.981-04:002009-06-19T13:01:53.981-04:00Wow, a meals on wheels driver. Aren't you a w...Wow, a meals on wheels driver. Aren't you a woman of many surprises. What a way to give back to your community. <br />I remember about 22 years ago we drove straight through to Chicago. My ex drove the first 3/4 of the way and I drove the last part of the way. Mainly because he has such terrible road rage it was easier for me to deal with the traffic than him. Well, it was my ex, myself, my mother and my 2 kids in a small car. Can't even remember what kind of car it was...but it may have been a pinto (imagine that CBW LOL). Did you know that they have specific "trucker" lanes?! Well, I certainly didn't...at least not until I was in the "set aside by a cement wall 2 lane trucker highway". Here I was pregnant, driving this tiny car with 2 tired cranky children...and that's just mom and the ex *grin* surrounded by trucks on 3 sides of me and a cement wall on the 4th. I couldn't wait to get off that highway!!!! Thank God I was driving and not the ex...that would have been the end of any hopes for a pleasant trip. <br /><br />msseabreezeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-83185491780203477872009-06-19T12:11:50.974-04:002009-06-19T12:11:50.974-04:00Yesterday sometime during my 5-hour drive from Toa...Yesterday sometime during my 5-hour drive from Toano... I was in the left lane needing to merge right. There was a little truck somewhat in the way, all he had to do was slow down a little. I put on my right turn signal, looked in my mirror, (mind you I was still in MY lane) the lovely senior citizen laid on his horn and flipped me the bird!!! All I did was put on my blinker!! The way he carried on, you would think I had just whipped right over on him! I drive alot of back roads thru West Point, and I ALWAYS get behind someone driving 30 in a 45. But it beats the 1,205 stoplights through Gloucester!!<br /><br />Alot of my patients at work get Meals on Wheels, so on their behalf, I thank you for that usually thankless job!Lynne M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-54410509454886887872009-06-19T09:19:19.756-04:002009-06-19T09:19:19.756-04:00I didn't know you drive for Meals on Wheels. ...I didn't know you drive for Meals on Wheels.
