You really can't go back

Hello,

Sorry to take so long to check in,but leaving everything but your clothes, cat and car behind is not easy. However, here I am in Kansas, looking for the wizard. My sister is keeping me company and it is a good thing because she has a sense of direction and I do not!

We stopped in Las Vegas to see family members who are not in a good place now, even though my sister's ex husband told her he missed here and would she come live with him. I was all for second chances but she isn't sure so we said "good luck" and went on to Utah. Had a lovely dinner in a nice restaurant and had theplace laughing with us. Felt good after the family visit.

Emily, however , is not liking her first road trip. She mews a lot and then sleeps and does not eat much.

Next stop Denver to visit my sis's granddaughter and great grandson. Beer and Bar B Que. Fun. Both of us became ill during the night and could not get out of bed the next day. Being young and the weekend we did not get any tea or sympathy., let alone chicken soup. They did ask her to come and live with them and was offered a job managing a fast food restaurant. We hung around for one more night and hit the road. We made it to Kansas and had to cut it short cuz our tummies were not completely ok. Got a good nights rest and hit the trail. The scenery was greener and lovely. I decided to visit my ex hubby and called and he said come on by. It was 50 miles out of our way, but I wanted to see him or me to see him. Boy was I surprised when he opened the door and had a grey pony tail halfway down his back thinning on top. Also had a belly the size of a basketball.

My sister had driven half way across the USA and he didn't even think to offer us refreshments. I got myself a glass of tap water and we shared family stories. I excused myself and left the room. my sis asked if there was a motel in town and he answered "no" then she asked about a place to eat and got the same answer.
I came back and asked if he had any beer and he got us one. He drinks scotch and it was too early at 4 PM. Well, excuse me!!

We left soon after and I realized why our marriage ended 20 years ago. Besides, I am on my way to a new life.!!!
