Driving in the Middle of Nowhere: 4:30pm

So, we got off from Scottsdale, AZ at about 12:30. According to my Grammy, that was only ‘30 minutes later than planned.’ Umm…not so, we really wanted to get out about 9:30. But, if my Grammy is happy, then I think that I am too.

So, we are driving up to St. Johns, AZ (who knew there was such a thing) from Show Low. We are surrounded by rolling hills with little bushes spread throughout. The sky is a brilliant blue with great puffy white clouds crowding the sky. It is so beautiful and looks like something that you would see on either a nature show or in a painting. I took a few pictures that I’ll post when I get a chance…probably sometime next week.

We are driving up to St. Johns because we somehow managed to miss the turn up to Holbrook and we went to Show Low instead. We are seriously just all messed up in everything, it’s kind of funny. So this detour is going to end up being the same as if we didn’t mess anything up. You could almost go with the, ‘if it didn’t happen it was never close’ phrase…

Ohh…I didn’t mention what happened with the van. My dad used the wrong key…he got a new one from Home Depot recently and he tried to use it. But it didn’t have the right computer chip in it; therefore, the van would just shut off when we tried to make it move. So, there was nothing wrong with the van’s fuel pump or anything else, it was the computer chip that didn’t make it into the key.

Haha, I think that it is just so ironic and almost funny the way things have happened. (with the van, with making the wrong turn)

Mkay, that's all for now! More tomorrow!
