Wednesday 10/22/08

At first, I thought it silly and unnecessary to have to learn how to parallel park a truck. Well, tonight it was necessary. Last spot available. Good times.

Today was a nice drive down memory lane. We ran down I-75 through Kentucky and as we passed through Corbin and came across Jellico Mountain, I remembered Grandma talking about her trips to Kentucky and having to drive up Jellico. Then we crossed into Tennessee and I saw a sign for the Green McAdoo Museum. Hey, I know where we're at now! I wondered if Nana was working. Unfortunately, with no time to spare, we kept rolling. Oh, look! I-40W. Once again, I had to fight to keep the truck from exiting. Continuing on, we drove past the former East Town Mall before stopping for a break at exit 417, where, once upon a time, "bags of stuff Bret doesn't need" were quietly passed from one vehicle to another.

It's always good to be home.

But the truth is you really did need all that stuff!!! Just in case..... Doesn't surprise me that you could parallel park that truck. You could back a tractor into the shed when you were three!
Love your blog!
