READING THE SIGNS!

       READING THE SIGNS!

     You've got to be amazed by those
stories from the old west when men
known as trackers could literally
look at hoof prints in the dirt and
determine how many riders had
gone by and, often, exactly where
they were headed.
       These days every road and
street are named and most of us
have a GPS system in our car to
point out the fastest way to get where
we're going. For those not technically
inclined old fashion maps are still
available to help you find your way!
        We choose the Garmin as our
initial direction finder when we
headed out to meet our son and daughter-
in-law for dinner on Thursday.
          We had a fish dinner in mind
and they found a place that featured
seafood on its menu.
           Our GPS was not as exact as
we hoped it might be even though we
entered the exact address. I was
especially surprised when my wife
spotted the seafood painting on the
place two miles before the Garmin
indicated we should be there.
             The place seemed very nice
though the prices were a bit more
than we had expected.
              Sine we arrived first we
ordered  water and a coke and
told the waitress we'd wait for our
other family members to join us.
When they didn't after a respectable
few minutes I texted my son to let
him know we were in the place and
already had a table.
               Problem was.....he and his
wife were already in the place and
had a table!  Seems some of us were
in the wrong place!
                That seemed to be my wife
and I so we apologized to the waitress
and left to complete our dinner
rendezvous. That's when I noticed
the "Seafood Painting" my
wife had spotted had a name above
it as well. And it wasn't the name
of the place we were suppose to meet!
My wife saw the painting but ignored
the name!
                It was a nice painting but
it might have been better to read
rather the just look at the sign!
                After a bit more searching
we did find the other place and
enjoyed a great dinner together!
                Hope you're reading the
signs and that all your NEWS is
good!
