Trucks
When I was girl of sweet 16, I begged and begged and begged my Daddy for a Subaru Brat. I'm not sure why I wanted one. Maybe it's what I most identified with, LOL. I might have been a bit of a brat but I was never a tom boy. Or maybe I just like trucks...
Needless to say, I didn't get one...
Until...
49 short years later!
Brats were long gone by then but I'd fallen in love with 2021's redesigned Honda Ridgeline.
Fridays
I miss her most on Fridays.
Back before we sentenced her to "The Manor", my siblings and I each took one weekend a month to give the care-giver some time off. I can't remember what year we started this, or how many years it lasted, but I can remember the routine I followed, right down to the chardonnay.
And it shames me.
Right about Wednesday before it was my turn, the dread would set in. I knew what was coming and I wasn't looking forward to it.
The long drive down there.
The endless, repetitive questions.
The broken sleep.
