Shit, shit, and double shit again. You WILL NOT believe what happened.

We're home just long enough to put the boat away and get the motorhome. We take off first thing in the morning for New Mexico. I had to tell you guys this. I don't have much time before H gets back with the motorhome.

Saturday we were in Yosemite -- 300 miles away from home. After spending the day sightseeing with our kids and best friends, we had lunch at the Ahwanee Hotel. Some members of our party then wanted to go to the gift shop. H and I went and sat directly outside the gift shop (I had a migraine all day). I looked in the window and what to my wondering eyes appeared but the BITCH OW. (So sorry). I AM NOT KIDDING. She was standing right next to my best friend in the whole world!!

I just looked at my H and said, "did you see that?" He said, "what?" I said, "look in the window at who's standing next to Judy." You should've seen his face!! He grabbed me and said lets go get the car. We told our friends we were going to get the car and be back. It was a bit of a walk.

When we got out of earshot of our group, I went beserk. I accused him of still being in contact with her and telling her where we were going on vacation. He said absolutely not -- has not talked to her or e-mailed her -- had any contact since last October (and I knew about that). He was pretty shaken. He grabbed my hand and told me to ask him anything I wanted.

When we got to the car he wanted to know if I was okay to go back. By that point I'd calmed down and informed him that I would not let the fact that I'd seen HIS former lover in one of MY favorite places on earth on OUR family vacation ruin it for me.

Later that evening talked about the odds of that happening; how if we'd read it in a book or seen it in a movie we'd have said, "yeah, right." H said he felt like "somebody was trying to come between us."

Way too much to tell right now. I'm trying to believe him. Everything logical in me says this was a horrible coincidence. H swore that it was a horrible coincidence. By the look on his face when he saw her, it makes me feel he was really clueless.

Guys, how does this happen? We were 300 miles away from home for God's sake. Am I being a fool to believe him? On one hand I tell him I trust him; on the other hand I feel this is just too much of a coincidence.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS. I feel I've got to talk to him somemore about this. Great vacation, huh? More like a nightmare.

I've got to go. I'll fill you in more when I return. GEEZE, guys, aren't you praying for me out there? If so, somethings going amuck.
