Carol and a friend stopped at our home in TN after being lost for hours and arriving late evening. We tried to talk her and her friend into spending the night with us and enjoying a wonderful breakfast my husband would fix for all of us in the morning. She felt she needed to get home after an extensive southern trip visiting friends. We explained how easy the directions were to get to I-75 N and she seemed confused, so we said we would follow her until she reached the interstate and we would flash our headlights to let her know she reached it. She turned way before the interstate entrance, so we chased her down and had her follow us.
We enjoyed many a card game with Carol, Nancy and Janet through the years. They loved playing Dirty Uno and Pinochle!
