Back Up Angels - 4, Lory - 0

So you all (or since I'm in Texas, I should say y'all) are familiar with my ISSUE with backing up the camper.  Yes...I only practiced backing up ONCE in the Costco parking lot before my trip, BUT I have a BIG God who loves me and knows all my ISSUES and loves me anyway! 

He's definitely blessing me with my back up ISSUE! 

 

So just to review....we've had George in Mesa, AZ, Back Up Angel #1

 

The sad part is George does not "do the Internet," so he has no idea of his

Back Up Angel status.

 

Then we move on to Vinton, TX, where we have Robert, Back Up Angel #2

 

 

Now, Robert is a different kind of Back Up Angel.  He didn't exactly get in my truck and back it up, BUT he did give me expert advice and instructions as to how to back up,
so he counts as an Angel in my book.

 

Back Up Angel #3 is Gary of Floresville, TX

 

 

He's the one in between Julee and his beautiful wife, Valinda. 

(Julee's beautiful too, by the way).  

 

When I got to their house, I had to drive through their pasture.  It was very beautiful to drive through a pasture, and Gary (Back Up Angel #3) said those amazing words,

"Do you want me to back that up for you?" and backed up my camper to its camping spot.

 

Sometimes, Angels are not very photogenic,

so I don't have a photograph of Back Up Angel #4

 

When I got to Mustang Island, TX, there were two rows of RV parking spots.  They looked pretty tight to me!  As I was driving to my spot, I thought,

"Oh no, God.  There's no one to help me, and these spots are tight. 

What are you going to do? 

How are you going to back me into one of these spots?" 

 

 Low and behold, an Angel appeared from the camper next door.  He must have heard my FIVE attempts of backing into my spot already and decided to come outside to help me out. 

I'm sure he was tired of that diesel truck going back and forth in front of his camper. 

 

So he started "directing" me into my spot.  After just a few seconds of my lame attempts (imagine that), he came over to my truck and said my most favoritist words of this whole trip,

"Do you want me to back it up for you?" 

 

"Yes!!!!!  Yes, I do!"

 

  His name was Don.  I didn't get a  picture of him because his wife looked a little mad when she stuck her head out of her camper looking for him, and I told her he was backing up my camper.  I didn't think a picture of that particular Back Up Angel would be a good idea.  He still counts, though!

 

All the other times, I have not needed a Back Up Angel because of my OTHER favorite words on this trip....PULL THROUGH camping spots!

 

So for those of you keeping score (yes, I certainly am).  The score is:

 

Back Up Angels - 4

 

Lory - 0

 

This is a game I want to lose!
