You... may be... right.

Hit The Iowa...Country Roads, today.

{God, I...Love...Eating Dust, from The Iowa, Gravel Roads! <3 }

{I, Truly...do. : ) When I die, they won't find Blood, in my veins. : )

It'll...be...Dust, from the rabbit hole, and...Iowa...Gravel...Roads. : ) }

It was soooo Hot. No air...in either of the Trucks....I drove today.

 No Worries. : )

I'd Much...Rather...have the Wind, blowing in the Trucks. Along...with The Dust!!!

hahahahahaha!

I was so Sweaty...and...stinky.

: )

Then, received a message, from Family.

They, wanted to hook up, in Iowa City.

: )

My Sister, {Dad's 'Next', to 'Youngest' Daughter...is visiting, from Texas, with some of her Family.}

Oh Dear.

I...was on The Road. Had Many Stops.

There, was NO WAY, I could make it happen.

I, know...I really disappointed my Family.

I tried to explain, had I known sooner.... : ( : ( : ( 

oh...dear. : (

One, 'Stop'...was close, but...the next 'Stop'...was back to back....and MILES Away.

Oh...Dear.

I Ran Hard, Gathered Up...the first Load...

then, I...thought...I might have 15 minutes...to spare.

The Sky...turned BLACK.

A HUGE...Storm, was bearing down.

It POURED.

The Traffic, was Insane.

Ya couldn't See...it, was raining...so hard.

I pulled into a parking lot, to see how close I was, to where the 'Family'...was.

I was 'ONE MINUTE', from where They were.

: )

It was raining...so hard, I couldn't see the building.

I found the parking lot....

emptied...a plastic grocery bag, that was holding...receipt books,

 on The Ford's Passenger Seat,

threw it over my head...{holding my cell phone, under the bag, on my head!!!

I had to have it, to text the Girl, I was going to meet, letting her know....I was running a little behind! : ) }

and RAN...into the Restaurant....where, my Family...didn't expect me to 'Show'. : )

The Man, who Greeted me at the door, Laughed....when I Blew In!!!

: ) : ) : ) 

I looked like a Sweaty...Stinky...Dirty...Drowned...Rat!!!

: )

I told him... : )

"There's a Group..here, I'll Find 'em!!!"

Hahahahaha!!!!

I, did...Indeed.

: )

Oh My....

At least, The Conner Clan...isn't Shocked..by Much.

: ) : ) : ) 

{They, KNEW...my Dad. : ) <3 }

{Loved Him...too. <3 <3 <3 }

It was a Fast...Visit.

but,

 a Good...One.

<3

I, went on...piled...More...on The Ford, : )

Then...

just, as I had 'Home'...in my Sights...

The above, Tune...came on the radio.

: )

Perrrrrrfect!!!

: )

I'm kinda 'The Black Sheep'...of The Family. : )

Thankfully...

The Rest of The Flock, Loves me...anyway.
