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.
