Fun Fact about the Founder and Family

I have the worst sense of direction. No idea how I drove around back in the day with no cell or an original Nokia cell and Mapquest printouts. I get disoriented quickly when asked to find things on a paper map and even my teens who grew up hearing GPS since they were babies can navigate with a map better than I can.

I appreciate how my husband often drives on long trips, but he struggles to be patient if his GPS is not online and it’s me backing him up on the quest to get where we’re going with few detours. Even if I have to hop on my GPS apps to try to find something specific it doesn’t go well and I like to declare that it’s not working while my husband affectionately tends to say “operator error.”

This is something I can laugh at about myself and my family laughs with me. If I am chatting too much while driving I will often make a wrong turn even if my GPS is right on target. My kids are very familiar with Mom missing the turn and my poor Mom has heard me stress out a number of times while trying to find various medical offices or hospital entrances in a timely manner.

While sandwiched you tend to find yourself driving a number of loved ones many places. I find my way eventually.

More importantly we are slowly but surely finding our way through the sandwich generation’s journey of advocating, supporting, and caring for the surrounding generations.
