Sheer Joy

We almost turned around. The wreck slowing traffic was on the opposite side of I-20, but increased caution and ample rubbernecking threatened to add a half hour or more to our ETA.  (I always prefer to beat that number, not extend it)  We were already cutting it close time-wise.  As our speed dropped from 70 to 17, we passed a sign for the next exit - 13 miles away. But we still had 99 miles to reach our destination.  I adjusted my GPS to  " country roads, take me home " and we talked about rescheduling our trip for another day.  But as we reached the 13th mile, we found ourselves at the front of rubbernecker's row.

So, we tried.  And I'm so glad we did.  ~~~ Sometimes, when my heart is full, words are a tornado and all the raindrop details, a monsoon.  There's so, so much to tell you and,  as the white rabbit checks ...
