down the road


we are on our way down the road back to Puget sound.  it has been eventful so far. ha ha. We start out and decide not to stay at ainsworth st pk in Oregon as the hiking was to hard for me.  i tried to get up to the gorge trail this am but it was straight up and after a terrible nite i could not do it, tho i tried as best i could.  Iris tried to pull me up but steep accents are not for me as i have a hard time breathing so we gave that idea up.  We decide to move to maybe millersylvania again so we start down the road.  The hwy was very narrow because it was an alternate hwy route and the dumb road is a tourist road.  For some reason the steps didn't retract at one stop and they got caught on the side of the road and bent and then would not go in.  Yippee.  So Leroy has to stop in the road (wrong side at a pullout) with flashers on and try and get the step in as best he could.  OK, back on the road.  Never did get the steps all the way in.  This one is not our fault!  We go down the road and i mistakenly mention when i see the battle ground sign that they have a quilt store.  Well anyone who knows Leroy knows that means lets go.  so he takes off the road to this town and quilt store.  Well i am a terrible navigator and can't understand the directions on my phone.  So we pull off in a parking lot to figure it out.  Well, the lady (i won't use an adjective) from the storage unit calls and tells me i haven't paid the rent and her bookkeeping is totally different than mine.  So i sit in this lot pulling out my papers trying to justify myself.  Evidently my addition was wrong but so was hers, so i just wrote the damn check.  Of course i have to find a place to mail it. Today she says!!!!!!!  So then i am all stirred up and upset. After i calm  down some Leroy says we are finding that damn store so he looks it up on his phone or GPS.  We set out and after a few wrong turns i ask him if this is a personal thing now and he firmly says YES.  I shut up.  Then he goes down this narrow residential road and finally at the last moment there is a sign that says its the quilt store.  Out in the middle of now where and in a building behind the house with no way to go in at the last minute  so we sail on by.  Then we have to get on the right hwy and of course screw up that exit and finally get headed in the right direction.  Its only 230 in the aft.  What will the rest of the day be like.   ha ha.   When you own a house you have problems too, probably different but problems come every day for everyone no matter what.  I have decided God doesn't put the problems there for us, the devil or the universe or what ever you believe does.  God gives us the ability to handle them.  So its not the problem but the way we handle them that is important.  We are learning great lessons on the beginning of this adventure.  
Oh yeah, when we were parked in that lot a stupid Mexican (using adjectives there) came in front of the RV and did this aggressive gesture towards  diesel (sitting on the dash) and of course that got him all stirred up, which was understandable.  I could have wrung that dopes neck.  ASS
