ARE WE THERE YET?

I remember, as a child, the excitement of taking a trip in my dad's 1957 Bel-Air.  It was pink with the gray wings, at least I thought they were wings.  They seemed like wings when we went flying down the highway.  Weren't things so much simpler then?  I remember lying in the back window of the car, looking out at the cars behind me as we flew.  I would have thought my mom, being the worrier and over-protector that she was, would have had a fit about the danger associated with that posture because nowadays, what happens if you see a kid in the window of a car or on the back of a pickup truck?  "OH, MY GOD!  WHAT HORRIBLE PARENTS!"  

We would make the trip to my grandparents' house in that car every Sunday for dinner.  My grandmother was, and I still believe this after several years of living and eating, the best cook in the world.  One of my finest memories was having a belly full of chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, and fresh-picked green beans, embracing that dull sleepiness that would follow, and curling up in the sun-warmed back window of the car.  I would give up any responsibilities for my safety to my most cherished adults riding shotgun, and sleep all the way home...that kind of sleep that only sated children can accomplish.

What is your traveling memory?  

Let Tuesday roll! 

MONDAY MONDAY...GOT AWAY FROM ME!

Hi, to all my peeps.  I hope you all had a fantastic 4th of July, and that's what I'd like to know about you this week.  How did you celebrate?  What did you eat?  Who did you visit?  Fireworks or no?  Discuss, por favor! 

MONDAY - JULY 28, 2010

If you were making a bucket list, what would be number one on the list?

TIME TO REVISIT MY PEOPLE

Good morning!  It's beautiful here this morning, but stormy.  That doesn't keep all the breakfast bunch of the Aviary Club, Robin, Dove, Jay, Mr. Cardinal, and the snitty little Ms. Chickamouse from arriving at the bird feeder, though.  They just rush a little more.

I have had several requests to revive the My People Blog.  When I was doing it, I made it way too much work for myself, so I will, on Mondays, begin posting a question, and everyone can just post their answers, long or short, it's YOUR blog, really.  Just keep the posts somewhat clean since I don't want to tag it as an adults only site and eliminate some of the kids.  That way, we will learn a lot about each other and maybe make some new friendships along the way.  If you connect with someone here, please let us know about it, because I might have to change it to a matchmaker's site!  LOL.  

And please, don't be shy about bringing your friends along to play My People on Mondays.  The more people at the feeder, the better!

And thank you for supporting the blog.  Welcome to the blog that is all about you.  


With no further ado, I will post this and then post the question of the week. Have fun!
