With the new car battery, I am going to experience some well earned freedom.
Something I’ve not experienced before; going places when I want, where I want, if I want. I want to go to Costco, Home Depot, Liverpool, (our huge mall), Soriana, Zapamundi, (our smaller mall), all of the places Ivan and I would go together, but now I’m going to find my way to each of these places on my own. Prayers are always welcome.
I do have an app that we use down here called Waze, which is like Google Maps, and is a life saver for me. When we first moved here, and started using it, I asked it for directions to a particular place, (I don’t remember where), it told us to go to this particular street, turn right, go to this next particular street, turn left, and before we knew it, we were in a street that was just wide enough for the car to fit through. We were on our side of town, but on streets we didn’t know. It was a bit scary but Ivan got us out of there, and we didn’t use Waze again for a while after that.
When next we picked it up, we were much more familiar with our area, and were more confident in its ability to take us where we needed to go without incident. Plus, Ivan had an innate sense of direction, and memory for them as well. Once he drove a certain route from A to B, he remembered it without fail. Me, on the other hand, have a completely different perspective on the routes we took as I was either in the back seat, when we had friends in the car, or in the front passenger seat. Neither seat gives the same memories as when in the drivers seat, and being responsible for the route.
It’s an adventure that I am greatly looking forward to, and will share what I can with you when I survive, and get home. I’m excited to get started on this new chapter. It opens up a whole different way of living.
Plus, I’m so hungry for baked potatoes, and the only place that sells Russet potatoes is Costco. That will be my first, or second destination. That, and Home Depot. I want to get started painting the apartment. More on that later.
Until next we meet, stay happy, and healthy in the Lord.
Post script: though she’s not a post script. A very happy birthday to my daughter. It’s a milestone for sure. Many more preciosa. 💕
