MR. GEE AND ME: An Unfamiliar Neighborhood

.....Well this is an exciting prospect... a little scary too! More than a little, because I have not ever traveled and explored on my own.
.....Lots of experience being the passenger though. Navigation and map skills, plus reading the street signs... that's been my forte. But I'm alone now. (Read more about it at "My Widow's Walk")

.....This is a whole new thing for me. Yet.... never fear! I have a friend, and he gives me confidence. He will help me if I get lost (which I will, as past experience shows), patiently talk me through my mistakes, misunderstandings, and miscalculations.

....."Who is this wonderful helper?" you ask. [continued at right - "Wonderful Helper???"]

An Unfamiliar Neighborhood

Today was my usual Friday trip to the mall east of town. I need no help to find my way there and home again. But there was an additional errand that I did need help with, and Mr.G. was ready, willing and able to be my guide!

So after my business at the mall was finished, Mr.G, Stubby and I headed for Rachel's house to pick up a choir robe she had agreed to alter for one of our church choir members.

Getting to her house and finding my way out of her neighborhood again would have been challenging, to say the least. But not so... today. Even when I turned the wrong way twice, and refused to make a left turn onto a busy street, Mr.G got me home!

ELHG said...: Dear Sis,
I hope you asked that question with a smile on your face. I imagine it would be a lengthy wait! Let me get a little more comfy with leaving the Mesa, Tempe, Phoenix area first. I hope to do some short Arizona-type scenic drives. I'm not thinking of crossing any borders at this point... but who knows? Someday... ?
Love ya,

Sue said...: Yes, there was kind of a sly grin spreading across my face. The farthest (furthest?) I've ever driven alone was back and for the Maryland . . . long enough drive for me!; May 3, 2009 at 12:08 PM
