Thanks for sharing those great stories.
My mom loves riding in my bus but she won't dare drive it. She fears that I
would never forgive her if something were to happen to him but of course
she's wrong about that. Someday soon, I'll get her behind the wheel. Years
ago she had a Ghia and she loved it. She drools a bit when we see a nice
one. I'd love to get her one. We had a Thing when I was a kid. She really
did not dig it because, well, a Thing does not make a good family car when
it is winter in Connecticut.
I'm going to bring this to Mother's Day present. My mom and I just returned
from a fun adventure with Donner. We went to Houston to see the art cars.
We walked down Memory Lane in Nassau Bay. (We lived there for a year 30+
years ago. My dad hated Texas so we left but the rest of us had fond
memories.) And today we enjoyed Galveston!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend too.
Julie
