Went to Ever Green Lake today with my husband. He had me drive (which I have grown to hate because of the stalking). A trip that should have taken no more than 30 minutes, ended up taking over an hour to get there. It has been awhile since either of us have been there.

When I drive and he is in the car, he always directs me. I am so used to it, I don't even notice. When I am by myself, I direct myself. Is this a male thing? That they always have to be giving directions??

Anyway, so I was talking and missed the exit for Ever Green Lake (because I am so used to him giving me directions when he is in the car with me). So, we drove 10 miles past it, then turned around and drove back another 20 miles because he said the exit was back 20 miles (which it wasn't). I kept telling him it wasn't--that we needed to exit off at the next town, but he kept insisting otherwise. So, of course, I listened to him and drove to the 2nd town off the interstate and exited, then drove down this road he said led to Ever Green Lake.

We drove down this road and came upon construction workers near the end of the road. If I had kept driving, I would have drove right into the lake! There was no sign "Lake Ahead, Road Ends," or anything. Weird! Anyway, the construction guys said that people had been driving into the lake, so they were putting barricades up. Seriously, I didn't even know that road existed!  So, we asked which way to Ever Green Lake, and they said "Turn around and take the next right." So, we did.

Well, as soon as we turned on the right road to go to Ever Green Lake, a red truck came up behind us and another red vehicle came towards us.

We ended up only staying a half hour at the lake because of all the driving around. So, it was hardly worth the trip.

Came home and about 7 p.m., I started out for a walk. My grey cat started following me, so I turned around and asked the hubby, who was putting the lawn mower away, to call him and put food down for him so he wouldn't follow me and get ran over.

He called him and he turned around and went back. I was walking down the road and kept looking back and lo and behold, he was out in the front yard again mewing after me like he was going to follow me.

All of a sudden, this grey car (Durre 94) came speeding towards our house. I waved my arms at the car and she came to a stop. She was a red head, of course--and had a CNA uniform on. But, had a bunch of little kids in the car with her. I asked her if she would please slow down because I didn't want her hitting my cat, in case he had followed me out onto the road.

Now, you may be thinking that I should keep the cat inside. That would be nice if I could. But, I have allergies and I have 8 cats. So, I do the best I can with them in trying to feed, shelter, and protect them.
