The Birthday Gift
The Birthday Gift Birthdays in the age of COVID.... The Spawn's little friend had a birthday today, but because of COVID, they had a 'virtual' birthday party. WTF?!? Most bizarre thing I've ever experienced.... Personally, I think it was an easy way to get gifts for a without having to them yourself, as, we still had to drop by the house to drop off the gift even though there were no actual birthday party events included. And, because I'm that person that can get lost trying to find a Dollar General in a one store town, I had to call the parents to get directions to their home. Planning to just plug an address into my GPS, I was thrown off a bit when the dad actually started giving me directions. "Head east on M-32 until you get to...." What was happening here? East?!? Is that toward Joburg or Elmira... Ugh! "Hold on, just a sec. I'm driving, I thought you were going to give me your address so I have my GPS set up on my car's navigation screen." "GPS? You don't need that, the house is really easy to find...." You just drive here, turn here, head up this road a quarter of a mile... Is he on crack?? I might as well be following the constellations. Don't ask how I did it, but I did manage to find the house to drop off the gift. Both Spawns excited, cheerfully laughing through the screen door as we dropped the gift off on the porch, virtual party already underway with my Spawn attending on her phone. I consider this one a WIN for today. Happy Monday! |

that's so funny I used to have Mapscos in my car to get from place to place the new normal is going to happen with or without us I hope we make it thru the flu season be safe thanks for sharing Peter, Paul and Mary - "Virtual Party" It's 11 o'clock in the evening - I'm barefoot - And I'm logged-on to the INTERNET. I usually pickup my e-mail in the afternoon But on weekends sometimes I forget... I yell down the hall to the bedroom, "Honey, I'll be right there..." She says "that's ok, dear, I got a brand new book here and I'm not going anywhere". A funny thing about a couple when a couple of years've gone by. You don't talk; you think you know each other so well you don't have to try... you take for granted what you used to call enchanted just a while ago... ah..when does a mystery turn into history? I don't know...

Hmmm... Wow. Sounds like an interesting experience all around. Love it when they tell you it's a piece of cake to get to their place. They forget to mention that the stop 🛑 sign you were supposed to turn left on, was removed from the corner... 2 years ago. True story... FFS!

My friend had a birthday for her daughter last May, but it was a drive by, hand the present out the window, then drive away.

My ex husband was amazing at that kind of stuff. Somehow he always seemed to know where to turn, where to go, and what landmarks we needed to find. Me, on the other hand, not so much. I'm like the girl who needs to know if I have to turn right or left....

Kind of reminds me of common directions given too get from one highway too another ; was, follow highway xx till you see the big red barn, then turn left at the very next road . Had too go that direction myself one time and discovered that the red barn , at some point , had been painted white with red strips ; too look like a candy cane !!! oooppps !!!

Gen X all the way.... I don't know how I managed to get around before I had GPS.

I like to tell people: turn where the barn used to be. The funny thing is, is that most people around here understand that direction

What did the virtual Birthday cake taste like?

At least you got there despite the directions!! Did you find your way home ok?

my friend LULU moved to a new subdivision and it doesn't GPS on my car. it's off an established road so i GPS for that street and then try not to miss the entrance to her subdivision. even though i have lived in SAVANNAH before i am really lost finding my way around town without my GPS. i've been seeing a therapist this year but we haven't been able to connect via phone app the last several sessions so she just calls me. i'm glad Spawn enjoyed her virtual time with her friend. That was on me.
