My mother LOVED to travel. That being said, her internal navigation system wasn't that hot. So, she got lost...a lot! When I was 13, the two of us had gone to Atlanta to visit family. On the way home, I immersed myself in a book. Every now and then I'd hear her swearing. Each time it would get worse...and worse...and LOUDER. Finally, I looked up and took a good look around ....and cracked up. We'd been going a loop for over an hour!
Once I pointed it out, she cracked up and knew exactly where she had gone wrong....and took off in the right direction. I miss you momma!

What a great story, and a lovely fun memory of your mama. Hugs xx
I'm going to save this cute photo and quote. I love to travel too and have the worst sense of direction. My kids used to say, I could pull into a place and then when I was ready to leave, I couldn't figure out which way to go! Thanks for the surprises this morning! Hope your day is special, too! Hugs, Diane
