There are some things we cannot change

We are just born with certain "things"

like.   we are good at math,or not, 
         we are high energy,or not,  
          we are right handed, or we are not, 
 there are many things we are born with and we cannot change, 
            like a brain for maps, or not.

And that would be me 

So, that is why  we have GPS in both cars.  
So, with GPS logged in, Sabrina and  I are ready to join my little man at the school Reflections  event.

BUT,  5 minutes on the road and all dash lights go out, and the headlights, too.  I quickly pull off the road. Sabrina starts up and the lights go on, but this grammy is not going to risk getting caught miles from home with a dead car.

Back to home plate and into the Boogie Buggy . Why has the GPS been broken for so long and the driver with the map in his brain is playing basketball ...Oh, I have GPS on my phone.

Not sure why we arrived at an apartment complex instead of the Reflection address...and why did this homeowner have no idea where the facility could be.    Re enter address. Arrive and seconds before the main man arrives !!!

No need for GPS inside. Viewed lots of entries, and the best of all, our little man's .   Light refreshments ( one chocolate cookie for me-which I saved for later. Snacked on in the car. Crumbs found their way to the seat of my pants - don't ask ) 

hugs and on the road to Sally's for Hallmark movie night.

Quick text to Sally...on my way...
This is going to be easy. I just retrace my steps to Totem Lake and I know my way from there.   
But, it does not look right. And it does not feel like the scenic route.  Juanita Drive, yes, I now that and a right turn seems right. It is dark and rainy and I am not sure now if I am going north or south. Time to  put the appropriate address into my phone GPS. 
Turn here, turn there, go here and...why does that look like the Reflections address? !

Now I listen to Gladys and turn and turn , and again ,Juanita Drive ( so I was not completely wrong  - I think I was just wishing my friend Juanita was with me and we would be laughing ) 
Arrive at my desired destination
  When I turn off the engine, the GPS shows up on the screen.  It has not worked for months. This is when you think the writer is making up her story, but it is the truth.

and when I got back in the car after treats and a movie with Sally, it was still working. I know how to get home, no GPS needed.

Tomorrow?  When I need help getting to West Seattle? Who knows.

But tonight I am just remembering what my niece Lisa asked, about 51 years ago  " Auntie, are we going to get lost today? "

And that is a true story.
