We returned from our trip to Corpus
Christi, TX Saturday morning. We went down there to spend
Thanksgiving week with my parents and had a nice time. Getting
there and getting back was something else though; LOL on the
way up there a deer came within inches of hitting us on the
highway (speed limit 70 and that's what we were doing). My
husband Scott was driving luckily and he just immediately
swerved to the right into the next lane. Scott could have put
his arm out and easily touched the deer that's how close it
was. Then after that a fox ran in front of us but that wasn't
as heart-wrenching as the deer experience. After the fox tale
(hehehe get it tail?) some guy hauling another vehicle or part
of one decided he was just going to make his way into the next
lane WITHOUT EVEN looking as to where or who he was around. So
he scooted his truck over to us while we were being
tail-gated, Scott had to change lanes rather quickly and put
the “peddle to the medal” so to speak and that was kinda
heart-wrenching. Then on the way back it took us until 8 AM
Saturday to get home and we left my parents around 1 PM
Friday. First off we were going through a small town and we
ran into a gas station where gas was $2.76 and boy let me tell
you we jumped at that deal seeing as the previous town had
been in the $2.90’s or more and we needed gas anyways, that
took about 10 minutes. Well after filling up there were two
more gas stations that were similar in price but AFTER that
town it went back up in the $2.90’s; so we were on our way and
about 5 minutes later we ran into an accident and the best we
can figure that accident had happened about 15 minutes prior
to us getting there. If we hadn’t seen that cheap gas we would
have never stopped because we really didn’t need gas at the
point we had about a half tank. THAT accident could have
involved us and believe me it was a bad, bad accident. My
husband and I immediately knew why we found gas so cheap and
that was only by the hand of God for sure! He had protected us
from that accident and we were both so grateful and thanked
him for his protection. So a few hours later I was driving and
I took a wrong turn in Texarkana and had to turn back around
and take the right turn. A few hours later Scott took up the
driving once again and missed our turn somewhere along the way
and we went two hrs. out of our way because (get this, this is
soooo funny - hehehehehehe) we were too busy talking to one
another and had been for the past two hrs. and not only did we
miss our turn somewhere along the way but we were nearly out
of gas!!!! lmbooooooooooooo It's a good thing we had a couple
of jugs along the way!! All in all though we had a good trip.
My parents are showing their age gracefully more so than two
years ago, my brother won't get a doctor's check-up, my
Grandma is doing okay for her situation, my Aunt Sue is really
taking real good care of her and says she stills eats really,
really well and sometimes has to actually quit feeding her
because my Grandma wouldn't stop eating; that's really good to
hear. We stopped by a church Cemetery to visit my son's grave
and I put some flowers in his vase as I do every time we are
able to go to Texas and that was pretty heart-wrenching in
itself but much more so than the deer thing and such as that.
I told my son (Michael) that I was trying to be the best
person I could be so I could see him again someday. Again it
was a good trip all in all for sure!!!!!!! God Bless you all!
Hope you had a good Thanksgiving too!
