ROAD TRIP!

Fasten your seat belt, and let's go on a road trip!

Yeah, I've always been a real square.



Oh No! Look over there! Somebody spilled a big pile of wood on the street! What a mess!



Look at all of those street signs! I'm getting so confused. Can you check the map for me?

________________________________________________________

What is the name of the street that is marked in red?
That's where we need to turn.



Oh Look! My grandchildren's pictures are on the scoreboard at the ball game!


I'm trying to keep my eyes on the road. I couldn't see what Will Smith was advertising on that sign, could you?



Is someone picketing a business over there?


Oh, what a pretty garden!




Do you want to catch a movie?



Is this where I'm supposed to turn?


Look at that pretty Tudor-style home.


See if you can get some good music on the radio, 'cause you sure don't want me to start singing!




What a good lookin' young man. I wonder if he needs a ride? He looks kind of familiar. Oh! It's that really talented guy from Arkansas. He's a finalist on American Idol. What is his name? My memory is just not very good.


You're right, it's KRIS ALLEN! We won't need the radio, and I won't need to start singing. We'll just give Kris a ride, and we can enjoy his fantastic singing as we drive down the highway.


~~~~~~~~~~
Thank you so much for going on a road trip with me! Please forgive my "not-so-subtle" messages, and please VOTE FOR KRIS ALLEN for American Idol on Tuesday night (Yes, I was afraid you might have missed the "hidden" messages while we were on the road trip!) laurie

  10. Goodness gracious...when I first started reading this post, I thought "Oh no, she better NOT be going to the Finale!" This is soooo cute. I love American Idol. I have to say that I truly thought the finale would be between Danny and Adam. I do like Chris, I def think he can sing and he's cute...but shoot me girl, 'cuz I think Adam is going to win. Shoot me!

  13. So am I understanding correctly that you want me to vote for, what's his name again, oh yeah Chris something or other? lol You clearly have not made up your mind who you are supporting yet have you?! Come on woman, it is tomorrow night, time to stop being wishy washy and pick your favorite.
    I'd make fun of your blockhead but since you drive such a fancy car, I'll let it slide if you take me for a spin.

  22. Cute post, Laurie! I did not watch American Idol this season, so I don't have a favorite. Good luck to your guy!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. So Laurie, Who are you voting for tomorrow night on American Idol? LOL! ~hugs, Rhonda :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. I just can't get into that show. There must be something else I am hooked on.
    I do watch Dancing WTS. Not too much dancing lately but lots of hugs, and more.
    TV is ending the season, you can tell.
    That was a really funny post.You rock!

    btw, that was my 2 grandsons, not just one. I guess they look alike, but I don't see it.

  28. By the way, do you ever watch that program, American Idol? Who do you like?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well Laurie, it took me 15 mins. of messing around, but I finally got this window to open! I just don't get it. It must be my slow computer and all of your comments/pictures.

    Anyway, you always give me a giggle with your great posts, and I wish I knew how you do all those fun things! You must be so proud of a local boy making this far with Idol. I do really, really like Kris. I think it would be fun if he won.

    Hey, that is one reason I go to the gym early. Otherwise I'd be making excuses all day why I can't go!

    They are both great singers.

    I know you aren't on here right now...but I am hoping you are watching American Idol right now! If I had your number I would have called you after that performance by Kris Allen! How proud is Arkansas right now??? I can feel the emotions right now!
    They've just complete Round 1 and I LOVE Adam...and I agree that Kris surpassed Adam so far....may the best guy win..if there IS a best guy!
    enjoy.
