OK, my dear friends you certainly are all welcome to correct me when I am wrong. DARYL and I realized this morning about halfway through our trip to Tennessee that Ash Wednesday is next week. We fairly danced at the rest stop when we realized it. Just think, we can eat donuts every day now through Mardi Gras till next week! Although we haven’t had a single one yet! I think we were just so confused by day after day of driving that we didn’t know what week it was. Of course, that means we’re having a grand time and aren’t really thinking about regular activities. So we had Ash Wednesday a week early. What will we do next week? I’m not sure. Stay tuned. Maybe we needed a time of repentance early! 😂
But that isn’t all that happened to make today funny. First of all, we drove through Oklahoma and Arkansas and then to Tennessee. A lot of the landscape look like Pennsylvania and yet we did not see many very large farms. In Oklahoma, they were dried up lakes, and in Arkansas there was flooding. We did however get to see the Ozark mountains. I have never been in the Ozark mountains, so that was a gem of a trip. No time to hike them and actually they’re only about 2500 feet in elevation. Seems tiny compared to Big Bear but I still loved it.
The funny story developed as we pulled into our hotel. I went in to get us registered, and DARYL was unloading the car. The young lady checked me in and said to me, “ Is he with you?” motioning to the man behind me. I did not look around, but said , “yes that’s my husband.” She said, “Oh great, then would you like an upgrade to an executive suite rather than two beds?” I turned around to ask DARYL what he thought and realized that the man standing there was not my husband. The man started laughing. He said “Yeah when you told her I was with you, I wasn’t sure about that but I went along with it.” “Oh my goodness,” I said “I am so sorry.” We all laughed and I said “I got a new husband at the Fairfield hotel!” About that time DARYL came in and I said “DARYL, meet my new husband.” He looked a tad confused until I explained to him what had happened and he just shook his head.
The adventure continued when we came back as he was in the same elevator as us. We got off on the same floor and you will not believe this, but his room is directly across from ours. “Oh no,” I said “there could be trouble.” He just busted up laughing!
Oh the predicaments I get myself in. That’ll teach me to not turn around and look who’s behind me. But it sure made for a good laugh after a long day and a lot of fun with complete strangers. But all in all I’m sticking with my sweet husband, DARYL. He puts up with me and all my shenanigans and loves me deeply! Just one of the many adventures we have together! May you all laugh some today!
