Can I remember how to do this

Well, the Louisiana house is in the rear view mirror and Craig and I are both in the Mission, TX house, well trailer.


I drove the Condo (motor home) and pulled a 12 foot long enclosed cargo trailer, with Craig's precious 4 wheeler inside.  Ran into a severe thunder storm in Houston (imagine that) with weekend Christmas traffic.  A real thriller.  Got dark and ten lanes of red tail lights in downtown Houston at the hwy 59 and 610 split.  Well, I thought I needed to be 3 lanes over to the left.  Remember it is just me no other set of eyes to navigate.  Soooooo, I just began to move to the left.  A silly car just stopped right at my driver side (nothing in front of him he could pull forward).  I thought he just was wanting to be hit.  Guess being hit is one thing but being smashed (by a 40 foot moving barn) is not so good, because he pulled forward, thank you very much. It feels good to be big.  All three lane made room and I made it to 59 South.  Two and 1/2 days and I drove 700 miles.  Not very speedy by safe and sound.

So many people here in Hidden Valley are amazed that a woman would and could drive the motor home, all by herself.  I will say that Craig has driven for the last 3 years and I had an adjustment to get back in the saddle.  Not sure if all women could do this or am I'm different, just hard headed.  Tell me I can't and watch me roar.

This is my daddy.  I miss him.
