Trouble

Sometimes when we are walking we actually run errands too.  Even though I am better at multitasking, Paul loves to do it too.  This picture was taken at a local store the first time we went there after I had started documenting our walks.  Yes I know you all know which store it is. :-P

This new building was opened in the 90s after much anticipation.  The building across the street had kind of outgrown its usefulness and even though it looked ok I could start to see the years of wear and tear on it.  I remember there use to be a funeral home and car wash on this same site where the new building now stands.  I had never been in the funeral home but the car wash was a source of many problems for people in the neighborhood.  I think everyone was so happy to see the car wash go and this building come in, even if it was smaller than other stores of the same chain around the Dallas area.

The day this picture was taken I had been taking some great shots of the produce inside.  I will post those later.  We were getting ready to go back home when I looked up at the sign.  There were all these little rods sticking out.  I think they are there to keep pigeons off the sign.  Anyway I thought they were such a cool effect so I got my little camera out and tried to get an interesting shot of those rods.

If anyone knows me they know that I am one of those people who IF I am doing something wrong I will get in trouble.  Now a hundred other people could do the same thing but NOOOO it is always me that gets caught.  When I was a senior in high school, I skipped school one day to work on a English paper.  My friends Homer and David were the ones who convinced me to go.  We went to the downtown library and spent the whole day researching stuff for our projects.  We got back to school just as people were getting ready to go home and I really thought I had gotten away with it.  I went home and nothing was wrong until about 9:30 when my father comes home from a Choir Boosters meeting.  Of course my choir director had asked my dad if I was sick.  I was so busted.

Then when I was in college I went with some friends to Hot Springs one day instead of going to class.  We were going there to drop off a car my friend Tim was borrowing.  We went with two other people so there were 4 of us.  I figured I was only missing one class.  We got down there and dropped off the car and were starting back in one car when BAMMMM!  A car came through the intersection and ran into one the cars we were traveling in.  This was before everyone and their grandma had cell phones so we went to the nearest Waffle House, called the school, called a tow truck and sat inside and waited for someone to come get us from the college.  When he finally showed up we saw that he had come in the smallest sports car he could find WITH a friend.  So the 6 of us piled into that small car and headed back to college.  The drive time was usually about an hour and a half but since the car had O ring problems we had to stop every so often and add more oil.  When we got back finally people asked us where we had been.  My friend Tim said,"Hell".  Oh and then I found out I had missed a major test. O.o

SOOOO anyway you can see that I am a type of person that ALWAYS gets caught when they are doing stuff they are not supposed to be doing even if I don't know it is wrong.  So this day as I snapped off a couple of pictures I heard behind me one of those golf carts that the security uses.  The security officer said, "You can not take pictures of the front of the building. You have to have permission.  I am going to need to see that camera and delete those photos."  I was freaking out!  Luckily my lucky charm , my husband, was there and convinced the guy that we would do that ourselves.  OMG he scared me.  However I think this is a good picture and I think the store would too no matter what Billy Bad Ass said. :-P
