Flip Flop Floating Down the Freeway

My daughter Ashley told me a story yesterday that I found blog worthy, so I thought I'd share it:)

She had a doctors appointment yesterday. It was on such short notice, she just threw on some clothes, ran a brush through her hair, jumped into her flip flops and off she went. When she got out of the doctors office, it was pouring rain so bad the streets and parking lots were flooding. Of course, her car was parked far away, because that's the law of nature, LOL! She stood there for 10 minutes waiting on it to let up, but it didn't, and finally she'd had enough. She made the mad dash to her car, but about halfway there, she lost one of her flip flops. She was going to turn around and pick it up, but it was so flooded in the parking lot, the shoe was floating away! She made the rest of the trek to her car with one flip flop on and one off. The last she saw of that flip flop, it was floating towards the freeway!

So...if you're in Mesquite and you see a flip flop floating down the freeway, wave to it as you pass by.

And you WONDER how single shoes get in the middle of the road.........I think we have our answer....

Flip flopping away, Flip flopping away, Flip flopping away and it just ruined my day! Poor Ashley, now I know what I'm buying her for her birthay - - I'll wrap them real pretty. Maybe I'll buy just one. Very funny! Why was she going to the doctor? Write me an email. Is she sick?

Love,

MOM

You are never going to believe this, but Tuesday as I was driving home I saw an object sailing towards my windshield and it was a flip flop. I think it might have been Ashley's. I was on Legacy. I would have stopped for it but people were driving like maniacs and there was no place to pull over. It was really a flip flop and I thought of Ashley and thought perhaps the Lord wanted me to think of her right then and say a prayer for her so I did.

Love,

Maybe it's because our Grandmothers taught us that you'll catch a cold if you go out in the rain, LOL! At least that's what MY Grandma had me believing:)
