We made it to our hotel. With only 5 "Are we there yet?". And of course all the trucks we passed. Our Matriarch Widows takes her job of flashing our "Widows Gone Wild Watch Out!" sign serious. She didn't miss one! We were driving down I-25 passed one truck and looked in the rearview mirror and the truck was changing lanes and began speeding up. Hummm maybe honking at truck drivers isn't such a good idea. He flashed his phone number for us. Just kidding. If he would have those Wild Widows would have run the other way. Actually he pulled up on the right side and just wanted to read our sign. Whew!
After our most important visit was to McDonalds for our ice cream cone since the widows thought they had been good- being the adults we are we had to eat them first and got pizza for dinner later. Didn't our Moma's teach us dessert first and if you have room for anything more, then dinner. Right? Maybe not. Politics have always been a touchy subject. We don't usually approach it. Being the ornery person I am and knowing our Widows were predominately democrats, we started a coversation about which party is the best. Republicans right? Not according to them. It was four against two. Conversation went from this to abortion to the Pope and things going on in the Catholic church. It was so amazing how we could have this rather heated discussion each with our own ideas and values, most of the time at complete opposite sides and when it was over we all just sat and laughed. No hurt feelings. Wouldn't it be nice if everyday was like that?
