Late post, but drove 47 miles to Ford dealer to get some work done early this morning, only to find out that a "service appointment" to them means an appointment to drop your vehicle off and "we'll get to it when we can--probably a few hours at least because we are really busy today." So, I said I did not do business that way, and left!! Messed up my whole morning, but I told them when I called that I needed to wait for it, so it should not have been a surprise to them.
I think as a group, we get along so well together because:
- We all decided to head out RVing even though a lot of our friends did and do think we are crazy. "You are SO brave!" or the even worse "All by YOURSELF?"
- Ditto for our families. My younger son said I would not make it 200 miles down the road! HA! I now have 111,800 miles on my rig. He also was appalled when he first found out I was getting together with a bunch of "strange" ladies who could have been the proverbial ax murderers! And he really was nuts when he found out I invite perfect strangers into my motorhome. Like how dangerous can a couple with two young kids touring a lighthouse be or your next door neighbor in the desert??
- We are all independent and have a lot of respect for other independent women, so we don't have strong expectations of everyone doing things a particular way.
- I also think most of us have reached a point in life where we don't care a hoot what others think of us, so we just do our own things!
