I felt so much better driving away knowing she was where she needs to be. <br /><br />And you know how I feel about your Jeep!<br /><br />Heidi, You know what a sentimental sap I am for my old trucks! I keep saying it would cost me $25,000 to replace my truck... which is worth about $25 at the scrap yard!Heidi the Hickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639479864903922047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-80812347374394416172013-09-11T07:52:33.867-07:002013-09-11T07:52:33.867-07:00This is great!

I encountered a few raised eyebrows amongst the many bright gleaming cars and SUVs. Of course, they looked spotless, not having to claw themselves up a steep gravel access to reach the sideroad. They don't have to negotiate washboard surface that shakes your liver loose, and don't have to cross over a low gulch that in the slightest weather turns into a raging torrent. But my trusty lady does, day after day, sleet or snow, and worst when hell froze over.<br /><br />But that was not what I wanted to talk about. It was about kids returning to school. McMaster was buzzing, becoming the epicenter of growing excitement, luring long streams of young people into its maw, all burdened with backpacks with an eagerness to learn shining in their eyes, anticipating the opening lecture. In their preoccupation they paid no heed to the traffic and I nearly took out two of them. Looking at the swirl of their vast tide, I wished that I was back in those years. Who was going to teach what and was I going to get along with him/her? But who cares, there is my friend to wave to... Oh, yes. <br /><br />Nice post. Your young people look eager to resume their striving.Paul Teehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649547928178162423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17536279.post-74636528022526896792013-09-08T13:11:03.873-07:002013-09-08T13:11:03.873-07:00Thanks!!!
