Have people forgotten how to drive...

...since Covid? I mean, I can't figure out if they have forgotten how to be civil, just don't care, or have developed poor decision making skills.  This morning, I was trying to leave the McDonald's parking lot.  There was a long line of folks trying to get through the drive-thru.  Mind you, in Olympia, most fast food restaurants are closed to indoor eating.  So everything is drive-thru.  So...I can't exit the parking lot because a woman driving an Audi is in the middle of the lane.  She could move forward three feet or move backward three feet and I'd have room to go through. I motion with my hands to ask her if I can go in front or behind.  No, she shakes her head to indicate that she is in line for McD's.  Seriously? She does it multiple times.  Seriously? You think I can't see you are dying for your order? Happy to go around, just give me a little space.  There were several cars behind her as well. I still can't get over the fact that she saw no way possible to help a girl out.  SMH...

Time flies...

 Wow! Where has the time gone? I can't believe I haven't posted since Sam joined our family.  that was over five years and two states ago! The Riley's are now a family of four, with no foster children or exchange students.  We no longer have sweet Biscuit, but we do have Chloe, our border collie/blue heeler mix. She is a sweet girl, or as Jack likes to say, "the best untrained dog ever." 😂  

Since the last post, we've moved twice--from Tupelo to Denver, CO, to Olympia, WA.  Since I am not currently working, I have a bit more time to dedicate to this blog.  In the past it has informed family, friends, and complete strangers about our wedding plans, adopting our boys, cancer, and other small things in life.  

Stay tuned. There is more to come.  Also, if you would like to request that I write or comment on certain topics, feel free.  You are welcome to also share the link with your friends or on social media.
