"So get this. My best friend who lives in Edmonton, Alberta (that is in Canada), gave me a call last week and told me to come visit her. Since it is summer, I figured why not, let us have a nice little vacation, me and Pouch (my little baby dog). So we kiss Claus goodbye and hop in the van. Beautiful trip, no issue. After a while, I decided to get out of the van to drink a bit of water and look at the map to see where I was. And poof! Mother Nature decides to play a trick on me and blows my map away! All I have to say is thank God for the GPS on my cell phone!" Read more on the blog.
