I Do Not Get Lost, However, I Do Get Misplaced

Yep, in the past three days, your truly has ended up seriously misplaced. 

The first time was right outside Duluth, MN.  There is highway 53 and I-35 that come together right thar, on the south side.  We loaded our rig and coming out of the plant, got turned around and wnet down Hwy 53. 

Nope, we think, wrong way.  So I had to cross a bridge into WI, swing around under and come back across.  Then started south on I-35.  Only to figger out 10 miles later, it WAS supposed to be 53!

Backtrack the 10 miles to 53, over the Mississippi River, under the bridge and finally on the correct road.

Then today, we were in the ruralist of rural Mississippi and, after loading, thought we could just go "right over here" to get on the main road (as much as main road you could get there).  Once we got closer, it looked like we wouldn't be able to. 

Now, in a lot of these places, you don't want to just keep going, you'd be getting in deeper and deeper!  So, I saw a sawmill and turned in.  Asked directions and yep, I actually was going the right way.  Jus on the other side of the overpass was the turn off.  Great.

So, I made the turn and then hubby started talking about something and I lost focus...and ended up missing the next turn.  Had to go down abit, cut across the median and made my way back.

I gotta say, though, the locals must be used to us truckers going all wacky because when I pulled over or did  cut acroos, they all slowed and waited for me.  Heh...

I'm squared away now, toddling down the road....

Hubby Thought I'd Been Kidnapped!! (He's So Wonderful!)

We were in Ontario, CA, last night and parked at the TA. Normally, we park on a certain row. It's easy to get into and out of certain spots. But, yesterday, we had to park one row over.

No problem, you'd think...

Well, after eating in the restaurant (whose food wasn't up to par for some reason, but that's another story), I went on out to the truck, while hubby stayed behind to yap with other drivers.

So...I'm out in the truck...and no hubby....and no hubby...and no hubby. I'm getting pretty antsy.

I had already changed into my jammies but started to change back, was going to look for my beloved hubby!!

Right about that time, I saw his black western hat (yes, black felt hat, even in summer...) come around the hood of my truck. He got in and told me his story!

He had forgotten we'd parked a row over and had been walking around, looking for the rig. Then he started to get the feeling I'd been kidnapped and then he really couldn't think straight!! It does happen, kidnappings, I mean. There have been cases of female drivers being forced to go with an abductor and that is what hubby was thinking!!

Finally, he walked around the edge of the row and saw our rig! Whew!! He was soooo relieved!! Me, too!

After all the tension, we had a tentative laugh about it. It's funny but not. It could have been something bad, but wasn't.

It really made us feel how much we care for each other and what would life be like without the other?? I don't even want to think about it. Just very scary but ended well.

Next time I'll pin a transponder to his shirt!!

Lost My Reading Book Last Night....Grrrr!

We grabbed a shower and then went next door to eat. We like to read while we eat. We talk all the time anyway so, to us, it's not rude.

Anywho, we got up to leave and I was digging out the tip money from my pocket and, I'm guessing, I set it down and walked off.

I was 3/4th way through too!!
