Went home for the weekend. Flying trip. Visited with Jenn & Abby on Friday night for awhile. Spent the day in town with Stacy on Saturday. I tried on some dresses but didn't find anything to wear to the wedding. Looks like I'll be heading into Moncton to find something. We had dinner at Pizza Delight and Terry met up with us there. Exciting stuff happening with BnM soon. Saturday night went to Sherry & Gary's for their housewarming party. A family thing, kids and all. It was good to see the kids. They're growing up so quickly both in looks and in vocabularly. Jenn's kids had a lemonade stand on Sunday morning. Then Mom and Dad drove me back.
What a trip! Won't be doing that again anytime soon. My father really shouldn't have a license anymore I don't think. He asked at every exit if this was the one. EVERY one! And at first you kinda think he's just kidding, but then it becomes apparent that he's absolutely serious, he has no concept of the highway and distance. One serious near miss when we first got on the bigger highway with two lanes travelling the same way. We just got on and he seemed like he was going to exit again. I'm like get in the other lane. He put on his signal light, looked in the mirror and pulled right out in front of someone, said he didn't see them. It was a big white truck, right on the bumper . . . Mom's heart went in her throat there I'm sure. Then right in Sackville (which is NOT a complicated place to get around) I told him to get in the left turning lane at the lights and follow the car ahead of him. And the light was changing and he wasn't going and we were just sort of hanging out in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in town. Then when I said something about hurrying, the lights were changing, he said he didn't see any lights. He doesn't see ANYTHING!! And it's for real, not an act. He just can't drive anymore. Maybe around home . . . as long as they don't add any new road signs or lights . . . but the days of his road trips are over. I was terrified sending them home. But they made it okay, many hours later.
Next time I'm just taking the train. It's so much easier. And hardly anyone ever gets killed.
