Oh My Mother!!!

[Janet]

As most of you know, my mother is now in Florida until the end of next month. I called her yesterday to check on her and just to talk. I had tried calling her all morning, but she had gone to some garage sales near where she lives.

Remember, mother just turned 85 years young. She had a very eventful morning yesterday. As she was driving down a narrow road (you know something is going to happen..right?...LOL) she moved over so as not to run into this oncoming car...well someone on her right opened her car door and Mom hit it. That is incident number 1. Incident number 2 is: she pulled over to park and when the officer got there he fined her for parking on the wrong side of the road. Mom said there was no place else to park. So it's either get a ticket for parking on the wrong side of the road or leaving the scene of an accident. Incident number 3...her driver's license expired a year ago February.

My brother will be taking all her info to the license branch on Tuesday..they are closed here on Monday's and see if they can get her a temporary license until she gets home. She was mad because I told her not to drive and she said she needed to get to church tomorrow (today.) I asked her if someone in her park went to the same church and she said yes, but they go to the early service at 8;30 and she likes the one at 11:30 AM. I told her for one day she could ride with some and go early, it's not like she sleeps late..she gets up around 5 a.m.

She wouldn't hear of it. (See..I told you she is stubborn) she won't even compromise for God...LOL. She said she'll just "sneak" to church...LOL. I told her she better not, that if she had another accident they could possibly keep her from ever getting her license. This is not her first accident. My mother said she hasn't had an accident for over a year...so what you want to bet that she drives to church this morning?????

Stay tuned for the continuing life of Janet's mother....bless her heart!
