If I had a SmartPhone you might have “heard” me tweet . . .
But I don’t have a Smartphone. Just a little red texting phone. My brain, however, is used to thinking in tweets. So, while on vacation recently I began to compile the statements my brain tweeted to my consciousness.
I actually wrote them down. I reasoned that this was probably safer than texting on my phone anyway.
Most of my paper tweets came from long moments behind a steering wheel. Over 20 hours of long moments. Not really. I was in a car for 20 plus hours by myself with four children in tow. We traveled up to Canada, across the UP (Upper Peninsula of Michigan – of which I am in love with now), and down into Wisconsin.
If you desire to get caught up on my Tweets, this if for you.
- I just passed a Rudolph crossing! (There was a deer crossing sign on the interstate that had a bright red dot on the deer’s nose.)
- Watch out! Windmill blade on the road.
- Windmill blades are ji-normous!
- Gabe thinks his light saber is a candle. He has no clue what Star Wars is.

- When applying peppermint essential oil to your tongue while driving, avoid bumps.
- Gabe . . . will travel with potty.
- Whenever I hear, “I want to go to my room,” then I know Gabe has to go potty.

- It appears that much of Michigan is uninhabited.
- Only 6 more hours till we rendezvous with the Engineer in Wisconsin!

- I could live in the UP . . . on Lake Superior.
- I’m beginning to feel like a nag and slightly irrational.
- There are as many pine trees in Michigan as there are stars in the sky. Just kidding. Kind of.

- Getting ready to jump out the window into the Engineer’s arms while the car is still running.
- Here. Hello Fort Wilderness.
There you have it. Two weeks worth of tweets. Not you don’t have to feel like you missed anything.
