A Sunday Drive

Back during my childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a weekly series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Since Lin usually has to take her little breaks every five miles or so, I don't see a problem.

  3. Jerry - thank you so much. When I was a kid - early / mid sixties we used to do the same. . . Sunday drives. Once we ranged very, very far and we had ice cream at a place that seemed to be a hundred miles from home. A half-dozen or so years later, on my first day of high school, our bus drove right past king kone. It was about 6 miles from our house on a side road that we'd never have had any reason to travel. It goes without saying, I suppose, that high school was a side road that I (in retrospect) never had any reason to travel either.

    So it goes.

    Traveling to the half-life of linoleum brings you to upstate new york by the way.

    Thanks for the acknowledgement and for stopping by.

  5. You are most welcome, and thanks for being so considerate, my dear Half-Life!!! Yes, I have had similar experiences, and I have also wondered where this or that is (or went) when trying to find something of great significance to me back then. I am a '57 model, myself. So, we might be close to the same age.

  6. You are most welcome, and thanks for being so considerate, my dear Silly Willy and Fluffy!!! Back then, I always got into big trouble when clowning around. I am glad it is working out better for you-all now!

  15. You are most welcome, and thanks for being so considerate, my dear Maryt!!! The combination between the title of the site and the image employed is one of my favorite matches. For the work of the poet could be seen as being not so unlike working in a field full of words.
