The eagle has landed.....

The eagle has landed.  Okay,...maybe not.  I've discovered that one of the quickest ways to divorce is to own a caravan.  Well, maybe not OWN one, but trying to land one next to the cement pad that is going to be your patio for a few days.

Moving a trailer or caravan backwards is one of the hardest things to do for many people.  And this is where the husband and wife differ as the husband sits in his car and the wife is at the back of the caravan giving directions on where to place the caravan so that it's EXACTLY!! parallel.  Or at least acceptable for said husband.  So the husband patiently gives you directions on HOW to tell him left or right.  So while you're at the back of the caravan still figuring out if it IS left or right, he's driving backwards, but STILL expecting or waiting on instructions!  And as you watch his lips moving saying unkind words and exclaiming over '' how difficult can it be?!!!" all you want to do as you mutter under your breath is give him the "sign" that all is not well in YOUR world either.  And then add some rain to that and slippery wet grass and the tyres ON the cement pad,...and, well the situation increases tenfold. 

But once you've landed and hubby is happy.  Each does their own thing to get their little home settled.  And with either a beer or a coffee in hand (depending on time of day), tension then subsides as they each go to their own corner.  You hear about couples divorcing all the time after they've been caravanning.  And now I know why,..neither one forgave each other for that sniping and snarling that comes with 'landing' a caravan.  "It's okay honey,...I forgive you for being a cranky old fart.  I just hope you can forgive me that I'm still trying to figure out my left from my right."
