do you like to travel in a car?

margaret and i are going to rhode island for a few days. for a big part of my life i hadn't been to rhode island so a few years back we took a trip to boston and then down to rhode island to get my 48th state out of the way. i went three years ago to south dakota and all i need now is alaska and i will have been in all 50 states.

i love to travel. it seems that i was born in a car. three weeks after i was born we left west virginia for colorado and i've been on the move ever since.

now it is very important to get along in a car. conflict can ruin a trip. proverbs 25.15 (ms) says, a nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet; you can't turn it off, and you can't get away from it. always critical, always giving grief about something and in a car you can't get away from it.

have you ever thought that in a car you have to do something about it? if you are on a long trip you can't ignore the problem like we do in a big house. you can't go somewhere and hide. come to think of it you can can't you with all those gadgets we put in our ears but at some time the batteries will run out and we will maybe have to talk.

well, i'm glad that i lived in a family that traveled. i was 12 months older than my sister, connie and she was my best friend until that guy came along and took her away (ha!).

i'm glad we traveled and i'm glad that margaret who is my best friend now and i are going to have a great time together as we explore our new home together in a car.

Have a nice trip!! Sometimes i am a terrible dripping faucet in the car...but its me nagging abe to please slow down...he is a crazy driver! Maybe next time instead of nagging i will just close my eyes and pray!

Enjoy your time together!
