Really nice out under the old apple tree this morning, must enjoy it while I can because it is supposed to be close to 100 degrees today.
I was recalling in my mind this morning, a trip to Florida. Lonna rented a car and she, Jill and I went to Disney and Sea World. Since Jill had been having seizures for a few years and I had been transporting her to work and everywhere else she had to take vacation time and come with Lonna and me, it was a trip we had planned for a while. We spent the night in a motel then went out to breakfast and was going to Sea world first.
Jill's seizures were tied to highs and lows of her blood sugar so because of the glycemic factor of potatoes, she was to avoid potatoes unless she ate protein with them. She ordered hash browns with her meal and as soon as we got into the car she had a seizure, so it was back to the motel for her to recover before we could go to Sea World. We were finally on our way and of course, Lonna was a bit angry, so when we got to the parking lot we parked the car quickly and went in to enjoy a day at the park.
When we got ready to go home we came out, tired of course, and started to our car. Now where was that car? Our own cars had identifying toys on the antennas but this was a rental car. We remembered that it was a red car, but do you know how many red cars went to Sea World that day? Lots and lots. We tried to think where we parked and no one could remember. We walked up an down the parking lot looking for a red rental car with an Arkansas plate. After a long time we did find it but it was a stressful event, we had almost decided to wait for everyone to leave the park and find the only car left in the parking lot.
The experience has made me much more aware of where I park, even at Walmart.
