It was a weird morning here in Minnesota. It was misty but warm, quite comfortable for a walk outside. Great idea. Get out, get some movement, fresh air, all good things. I chose a nature preserve within easy driving distance from our place and planned on spending about 45 minutes walking, thinking that I could cover a manageable distance in that amount of time…
…until I got totally turned around and had no idea where I was.
After more than an hour and a half, here’s the conversation I had via text messages:
1.
Messages sent 20 minutes after thinking I knew where I was. Also, please tell me that you already know a “sippy drink” means pop from a fountain machine.
2.
Messages sent when my destination seemed unreachable. Clearly things were getting desperate.
3.
Eventually, my crisis was averted…and was never much of a crisis in the first place.
It’s nice to have people who will play along with you.
I ended up walking for almost two hours. Think of all the Reece’s Pieces I can eat now after exerting that kind of energy. Just for the record, I was never in any danger of drinking contaminated water or poisonous berries. But if someone could confirm which side of trees moss is supposed to grow, that would be helpful the next time I need to determine my navigational position.
Have a great Thursday everyone!
Love it! And so glad you made it safely back to civilization. Now enjoy those Reece’s!
It was touch and go there for a while, Stacy. I’m lucky to be here.
Bhahaha That’s awesome! Humor can make any situation more bearable. Who did you have the conversation with?
It was my mom! It was a nice light moment in a dark season for us. Thanks so much for coming by!
Thanks for the much needed laugh today!
I love it!
