Anyone watching me would think I was nuts. This morning at the grocery store, it took ages for me to find a parking spot that suited me. I was driving the old truck. It has issues. It is a truck so is long and wide and it is old, so has no beeper when backing into a solid object, so I like to park right beside an end of the line of parking spaces. I need to be able to load the groceries. And of course, I want to drive forward. No backing up for me. This morning, it must have taken me ten minutes to find the perfect parking place.
Normally, when parking, I drive directly to the spot and park, usually as far away as possible from the entrance of the store, in order to have a longer walk. When Ken is parking, he searches for the closest place, but not me. I immediately park, except when I am at the grocery store. Today, I got the giggles, as it took me several trips around the lot to find the perfect spot. Finally I hit the jackpot and I was happy.
When returning to the truck with all my groceries, I had plenty of space to load up, as I had parked in the last spot in the row, and I drove right ahead to leave the lot. Anyone watching me would know I was very old, or very crazy, or maybe both. But I knew what I wanted and it just took awhile to reach perfection. Parking a truck in the parking lot of the grocery store is not easy!!
