Newton's second law and the Grim Beaker~new 11/18~what goes down must come up, right?

[PrincessV]

I mulled. I’m a muller.

Really? Who knew?!

“Oh, we haven’t made it to rope drop in years!”

“No, we don’t tour like that anymore.”

I swear, when you first told me that, I couldnt' really bring myself to believe it!

Well, there was another part of the plan.

Heh heh.

Only V sends me “psst” messages and it’s usually good.

OMG, you're right - I DO send "Psssst..." messages! Just ask Angela - I sent her one yesterday!

She also sends me football game scores. That information I just pass along.

My new plan? Be flexible. Go with the flow. Woo-sa. Enjoy. And spend some time with two really cool people, V and her son Leo.

 

[Disneyland_Mama]

“Oh, we haven’t made it to rope drop in years!”

T is going to request a post warning before reading things that are hazardous to my eye sight.

Oh, T...if that's the case, there will be much forewarning in this TR. Can I just give a sweeping *WARNING* ??

 

[KatGarcia]

[Lauralee131]

OMG, no rope drop, no touring plans, consideration of others...

IL's who don't plan , going with the flow ; meeting up with V and Leo WOW this TR has it all

You may proceed now that I am caught up

 

[cmp1111]

Hiya, Kate. I subbed when you started, but haven't had time to read. Until now.

I'm with T. I can't imagine "no rope drop"!!!

 

[Sleeping*Beauty]

No rope drop. Come on you're a diser you had to do rope drop it's in our DNA.

Can't wait to hear more!!

 

[sharkB8HooHaHa]

So it was with a loose plan, and a giant “woooosa” that we started out that Friday morning.

Knowing the pace with which my in-laws go through life, and their own special time pieces that tell them they are on time regardless of the rest of the world’s clocks, DH and I decided to suggest leaving at 7:30. That should have had us out the door by 8. And remarkably, it did.

We rode in tandem.

I led the way.

Which meant I set the pace.

Which meant I could DRIVE.

Until I looked in my rear-view mirror and didn’t see my father in law.

Allow me to explain.

My F-I-L, (we’ll call him Bobo, well, because that’s what we call him), has a GPS in his car. We call it Lola. Lola didn’t like the route I was taking and was telling him to turn around at the next possible intersection. Lola’s incessant demands to turn the car around were apparently impacting the pressure his foot was applying to the gas. Nana is not allowed to touch Lola, so she simply looked out the window while Bobo was futilely pushing buttons in an effort to get Lola to shut up.

This is why I prefer maps.

Well, that and the fact that the fine art of cartography is disappearing.

I digress.

I had to pull over to wait for Bobo.

A body in motion…until Lola reared her head.

Eventually he caught up and we were back on our way.

We stopped at Costco in Jacksonville for lunch and to grab some grub for the week. I waited at the counter for lunch while DH made the run for coffee, oatmeal, trail mix, and the like. By the time he got the few items we needed, I was through the line and we could sit to eat. Precision.

So we gobbled up lunch and started to leave when Bobo struck up a conversation with a couple sitting near us. What started as a smile and a “have a nice day” turned into “my three grandsons…going to Disney World….been many times…..from upstate New York….love the snow….” You get the picture. Our bodies were no longer in motion. We had stopped to talk to strangers. And we were a mere two hours from WDW.

I don’t get it either.





Up next....pulling up to AKV

 

[PrincessV]

My F-I-L, (we’ll call him Bobo, well, because that’s what we call him)

Bobo! I'm somewhat embarassed to say that I forgot his real name within 30 seconds of hearing it.

Well, that and the fact that the fine art of cartography is disappearing.

Not if Leo has anything to say about it.

Curse you Costco trail mix!

Strangers = equal and opposite reaction?

I failed land navigation when I was in ROTC but somehow I always wind up with the map

Apparently this gene is dormant until becoming a grandfather.

I knew as soon as I read this line, the next line would follow.....

Google is my friend.

DUDE - that's ALOT of coffee.

Woohoo!! Oops, sorry... it's woosa, right?

What is it about Sat Navs sending you the wrong way? I prefer maps too

Sorry but My Dad will talk to anyone, he actually goes around desperatly looking for someone he knows so he can chat, he denys this but we know

 

[cmp1111]

Which meant I could DRIVE.

See, I don't like having someone follow me. I usually drive, well, let's say on the edge of too fast. So...

Until I looked in my rear-view mirror and didn’t see my father in law.

Yep, that's my problem. No one keeps up.

I fear that I will be this type of elderly person... Sigh.

My grandfather used to talk to everyone and, of course, as a child, I was so embarrassed. But guess who can talk to strangers with the best of them? And occasionally starts the conversation.

Remember my beer trick or treating story?

 

[Goofyluver]

Well of course the GPS would be a Lola and not a Lyle.

Men don't know directions.

 

[puggymom]

Love Lola and was leaving Bobo at Costco not an option

 

[englishrose47]
