30 Days of Writing - The Turning Point

We have a very hilly twisty road behind our neighborhood. It is one lane each way and has absolutely no shoulders for any emergency swerving. It is frequently the scene of accidents that shut it down completely.

Her Royal Cuteness and I just happened upon a policeman blocking this road at the last turn-off before whatever disaster lay ahead. Instead of making a U-turn in the middle of the road, I turned right knowing that I could take another right and quickly exit the neighborhood and back-track to another route home.

As I start to turn again, HRC shouts "No go the other way and we can get out of here. My bus used to go this way."

So, left I turn. And then right. And then turn completely around in a cul-de-sac. And then a few more lefts until I finally see the last turn that will get me back out of the neighborhood.

Later as we are driving, I remark that she had me turn the wrong direction when I knew how to get home.

She replied, "then it is your fault for listening to me."

I've got posts that are scheduled for the last two days, but I will not be with computer access for most of that time. So, I'll catch up later and I must say that this challenge has been fun, and I've enjoyed reading all of your posts - both old blog buddies and new!
