I had been wanting to go back to Durango since about a week ago. I was looking in the 'yellow pages' for Photography Equipment. And there is one in Durango.. If I had some patience, I would drive to Albuquerque.. But just to 'LOOK', close by is good enough.
Hubby and I bagged up some snacks for me and Grandson, mind ya.. I hate stopping just to buy drinks and something to eat.
I got Grandson from school, and realized I didn't bring a jacket or a coat. Durango mountains still covered with snow.. it sho didn't look like it was a bit of warm goin on. So, we drove home and got my jacket and finally headed off for Durango.
We stopped here and there and took pictures along the way. Usually when Hubby is driving, I don't wanna bother him with "stop here and there" just to take pictures. He might just throw me and the camera out and leave us there by the road looking dumb. Anyhow, Grandson knows the drill.. the second I get out of the automobile, he locks it and ordered never open the door for anyone. I usually leave my phone in the vehicle, and he knows how to use it.
When we got into town we looked for that new soon to be my hang out.. we found it-no prob. All they really sold was more cameras.. like the one I had.. so no day dreaming going on.. and lens.. that's where I struck up a deal.. and got 300mm for a dang good price. Sweetie, and I left in good spirits and headed back to the truck.
I know there was a 'Mother' walking behind us when we were walking up the sidewalk. She has a boy around five with her, I heard her yell at him to stop and turn around a few times.. Well, when we I loaded Grandson into the truck he ran past me. I calmly walked and saw the kid still running past the curb and unto the busy street. I started to yell and run after him.. It must've been the yell that stopped him. He stopped and looked at me, I said (not to be mean) "GET BACK OVER HERE, NOW!!" The kid looked at me like he was in shock, and started walking back to his mom.. my heart was pounding a hundred miles an hour... O I was sweatin it BIG TIME.. I told his mom I sure wasn't gonna watch that kid get runned over by someone. Well, she must've got all worked up too.. She was carrying a baby.. When she got a hold of her boy.. (I'm just glad I'm not the boy) he got a talkin.. I think she was all worked up, they almost got ran over again.. I was backing out when I saw them.. this time they got a yelling by the driver. I was like.. and I bitch and whine when my day sucks.. This lady was having a bad day on a beautiful afternoon. Whoa... that sux mega time.
After that, I took o liddle tyke to McD's and we had a picnic at the park. He played, and I played with my camera.. then we headed for home.. Yippie..
