Did you ever drive some where and wonder how you got there? The car just goes almost by itself. To work, or to home? Happens a lot to me lately. I start out one place and whiz over to someplace else. Guess my mind is cluttered with other things and just doesn't know what it is doing sometimes. Recently I drove to our old house twice and was headed someplace else. It's like something else took me over and I ended up there.
I was really shocked when I arrived and saw three metal lawn chairs sitting on the porch that looked just like the ones we had. Antique ones. Sis and I both are almost SURE that there were things left in the attic of our garage that we did not know about. How in the world this young fella could get three green antique chairs just like the ones Dad and Mom had is beyond me. Sis said it's a sign from the folks.." we are still around." I am going to make it a point to drive by there and try to get the photo. Makes me wonder what else was up there. What treasures we could have found that Dad left for us. DID you ever wish you had checked something out that you didn't? We sure do now.
I recently took a drive out in the country looking around for some nice photos of wild flowers, you know the ones that make us sneeze. We have had a lot of rain recently and the fields are full of all sorts of new growth right now. What I found mostly was that ever growing Phlox that seems to pop up in every yard and every roadside ditch. The purple and white is quite pleasing to the eye. DID you ever wish you hadn't put flowers in a vase with a cat in the house? Yeah..guilty here. Chalk it up to not being aware that cats are curious of all things new. WHAM..water and flowers everywhere. I never even got to sneeze at them. Didn't bother to put them back out on the table either. Lesson learned.
DID you ever take a different route to some place out of the blue? Not so out of the blue I am thinking.. Several days ago I decided to take two different out of the way streets to go somewhere close in town. When I got to the place I saw that people were standing out talking and looking. When I looked there,a big nasty car accident. I would have been right there if I had went another way. Some how I was getting signals..go another way. You may think that is creepy or weird to believe, but me..I never take those vibes as nonsense. We make those decisions for a reason.I
sure don't question things like that any more. Chalk it up to experience or just my old age. Well, I will stop rambling away..
HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEK AHEAD!!

Oh I love wild Phlox they smell wonderful. I have heavy rectangle vases, but Myst never knocks them over,I put it on floor and she gives them a sniff but thats it.I am sure the chairs are enjoying being used on their porch :)
Yes, I always try to obey the little voice, keeps me safe.
I love phlox, They are so fleeting though as they only last a week or so.
When I moved Jim's nephew came and cleaned out the attic above the garage. There was a lot of stuff there including my little antique bookcase. There is no telling what you left behind.

Those flowers knocked my socks off! Wow, I wish I could smell them! As to taking different routes...I can say for sure mine have taken me some strange places in the world. I know there's reasons for everything. Today we were looking at some pictures of the different places we've been in the world and at the time the things we saw didn't seem all that huge at the moment but now it has a real impact on us looking back. There's no doubt in my mind that there's a Great Author to the things that happen in our lives. Bless you my friend.
I absolutely believe that things happen for a reason and there was a reason that you took a different way that day. Always follow your instinct they say!
I have found myself trying to drive to work...that's about it though. :-)))
Steve brought a handful of lilacs from outside and put them in a vase. But we were ALL sneezing so much after that, that he threw them out. They were QUITE fragrant but really beautiful. I always try to follow my urges too---it is usually the right decision!
When my girls were little we used to pick wildflowers & even though I have allergies, we would still display them proudly!
One time my husband and I started walking around our rural block and we decided to turn around and go back home to get the car to go for a drive instead, when we drove back to the place where we most likely would have been walking...a van full of drunks went airborne & landed upside down in the yard where we would have been...we stopped to help and were disgusted to find a pregnant young woman passenger whom I ended up having to call her grandmother to explain she was in a car accident!
~God Bless~
I used to do that......before THE BOSS appropriated Godzilla. Now I sit on the passenger side with a lens out the window and what's left of my mind can wander all it wants:-)
