Never been to Heaven but I've been to Oklahoma

A while back, my family and I were on the highway and a little car pulled out in front of us. I exclaimed "There were nuns in that car!"  I'm not sure why that struck me so funny except that it is not something we commonly see. My husband remarked, "Shouldn't they be flying?".


I tell my husband to catch up to them. I told my daughter to wave and see what they did. Of course they happily smiled and waved back. 

Later that day we see the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile! My daughter thought it was made up or only a Hot Wheels toy.  (none of these images are mine)


What tops this story off, and makes me create this post, is our road sighting weeks later. Our daughter wasn't with us but I was on the phone with her as my husband was driving. All of a sudden, I exclaim "Jesus!?" Then I explain to her, in my best evangelist tone "I've just seen Jeeeezus! He's coming for us, Saints! Gloooreh!"

I didn't expect 'Jeeeezus' to drive a Mazda truck but hey, he can do whatever he wants! We were wondering if he was looking for the Wiener Mobile to suggest Kosher hotdogs, which I love. ;-)

My husband told me of a song by 'Three Dog Night' where the lyrics say "Well I've never been to Heaven, But I've been to Oklahoma". Wow. Wonder what/who they saw when here!?

Next time we are out driving, we are pretty sure we will see Moses. Perhaps he will part the traffic for us!

I have been to Oklahoma and I do remember some of their music but I don't remember that song.

Its so cool to see quirky stuff like that on the road! I had to chuckle at Moses parting the traffic. That would be NICE!!!

LOL, that was an awesome post! Believe it or not Pa and I saw the Weiner Mobile on I95 North in Massachusettes on our way home from the Up Yonder Weekend...and I craved a hot dog for days, after..."It made me want a hot dog, reeealll baad." :)
Now, of course, I will be on the lookout for Jesus!
Hugs

Parsley,
Being Catholic, nuns have always been a part of my life and since I was 13 I've been told I could be a stand in for Sally Fields! (No doubt it's the habit I dress in to get the tax exemption. LOL) I've seen the Oscar Mayer Wiener Mobile, it's in the city often (Manhattan). I didn't know Jeeeezus drove a Mazda. I thought he was 'just a stranger on a bus, tryin' to make his way home.'
I know the song Sage was referring to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PeBiDfHckg

I've been in Tulsa, Oklahoma... and on the road from there to Armarillo, Texas... but I slept the whole way... so I missed, the not-flying nuns, the weinermobile, Jeeeezus or Moses. Drats.
