Today I reached into my jar of ideas that Donna had so lovingly put together for me to give me fresh ideas for a blog. I think I've dried up!
It's kind of like a Chinese Fortune cookie except it's a strip of paper with writing on it.
Here's what it said ... were you ever lost as a child and tell about it.
Okay...here goes. Living in the Pittsburgh area we had a wonderful amusement park (which is still there) and I've always, my entire life had a rotten sense of direction.
I do believe it's a form of dyslexia...I'm directionally challenged.
Well, I was 4 years old and wandered away from my family and found myself in unfamilar territory. I saw a police office and had sense enough to go up to him and tell him I couldn't find my father, mother, or sister. He asked my name...not only did I give him my first name, my middle name, and my Hebrew name...I just wanted to take sure they found me...that they wouldn't leave without me.
So..over the loud speaker system, I heard my name announced and in a matter of minutes, I was gathered up by my loving parents.
Things haven't changed in all these years...I still get lost.
That's why my grown up kids bought me a GPS....and thank, God for it. I do hear a lot of recalulating...but that's all right....I follow instruction.
Thank you, Jeff and Donna for this wonderful piece of technology. You made my driving life much easier..........................
