Running away.....

When the schedules get crazy, have been "hectic" for quite a while, unexpected phone calls and changes happen all of us can think about running away - right?  Sometime is seems like the best idea to "just" runaway.  If you think about it - it might even be the best idea yet.  Especially if the "runaway" time is a short time not a permanent time.

Dad and I would frequently runaway - especially on Fridays (supposed to be my day off!) so that I could get away.  Dad and I both loved history so sometimes it was to an historical site.  Sometimes it was for a "whole day" but sometimes it was only for an afternoon.  Sometimes it involved friends, food and fellowship.  Sometimes it was only us, travel and history.

The tricky part could come when Dad would decide to "sit and wait" for me to go see something or walk a trail.  There were several times he promised he would "wait right here" for me.  You guessed it.  He wasn't where he said he would be.  Sometimes he was easy to find but sometimes I would want to stand there and yell, like a little kid, DAD!! Times when you have to laugh or you will start screaming!
