My hubby and I have had this on going

and It's all about .....this.

The GPS or "Maggie" as I'd like to call her.
I Love her....He hates her.
He has never never ever liked GPS.
He says "ya can't go wrong with a good ol' fashion map."

I beg to differ. After years and years of being the designated map reader, folder, and trying to figure out the distance from point a to point b..... (and failing miserably I might add)... I
Maggie and I became best buds.
My hubby ....not so much.
On our recent trip we deviated a bit from the usual route and missed the exit.

I gingerly placed the GPS into its place on my windshield and after some convincing my husband decided to heed Maggie's directives.

Everything was quiet in the car as Maggie told my husband that the turn was coming up soon.

ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, I named it Maggie because its made by Magellan.
ReplyDeleteYikes! What a time... ;-)
ReplyDeleteGotta love the GPS lady. She's gotten me out of some nasty spots.
ReplyDeleteI love our GPS...............not that I know how to use her but hubby uses her all the time and loves it when going on a trip and not sure of the way.
ReplyDeleteI would love to be able to program it with my voice so I could tell him were to go........lol
I love the GPS lady. I mock her sometimes because she is funny the way she expresses herself.
