I’m Walking Here!
Apr 2nd, 2007 by admin
CS and I have a tradition of having Sunday breakfast with Southern Mom and her family. Yesterday, we tried a new place–Bywater Bar-B-Que. They had the BEST biscuit with gravy I’ve had in a long time. And their homemade jams–DELICIOUS. Oh, and the rest of their food was really yummy, too. It was a nice time, even though little Amber was cranky and did not use her inside voice the entire time.
Anywho, on the drive over, we came up to a signal light that was green. But a little bird was walking across the street in the crosswalk! So even though we technically had the right of way, we slowed down for the bird. As we got close to it, it decided to fly the last leg of the walk.
Then, on our drive home, we got behind this truck that had come to a stop in the middle of a street. It seemed he was waiting for someone. I mumbled to myself, “Pull over already!” And instead of pulling onto the side of the street to park, he pulled the other way. Then we saw what he was waiting on–a box turtle was walking across the street! Once the turtle was in the clear, we both drove on.
Two street walking animals in one day. In my book, that’s a pretty good day.
Stumble it!
What a great reminder to stop and smell the roses.
wow… cool! That reminds me of when I lived in southern california as a kid and the giant desert tortoises would often get hit by cars crossing the street. once we found one and adopted it (not a dead one ha ha). I haven’t thought about that in a LONG time! Thanks Nola!
Smell the roses my patooey (and that means butt, people). You know that box turtle was just a scam to get you to stop so they can carjack you.
Cant you just see the carjackers feeding and loving that turtle just to turn him to a life of crime? You should thank your lucky stars you made it home alive.
You are too naive NOLA. 2 street walking animals in one day means someone is trying to set you up. Keep your eyes open and your feet on the gas pedal.
Southern Mom, we KNOW what you’d do if you’d have seen a defenseless animal in the street. All I can do is be thankful WE turned down that street and not you.
Turtle soup, baby!!!!
OK, NOLA, this won’t mean anything to you for a couple of years, but when you described the little bird crossing at the light, all I could think of was “go, dog, go!”
