When I was a kid, my family traveled back and forth from Manassas to Richmond at least once a month. Allen and I often played games during the trip to pass the time in the car. Our favorite games included competing to see who could find the most out-of-state tags and the alphabet game. Mom used to trick us into playing Quiet as a Mouse - seeing who could remain silent the longest. Years later, with a sly smile, she acknowledges I would hardly stop talking so she had to come up with some type of plan for a few moments of peace. I am sure my incessant talking drove both of my parents crazy! But, I love thinking back to those fun road trips. We would often travel the "hilly road" home. My stomach would fill with butterflies as we swooped around a turn and soared over a hill in the next moment. Talk about a homemade rollercoaster! As the fall season approaches and we begin to count our blessings during this month of thankfulness, I am thankful for my memories and how they have molded my life. Each day this month I plan to focus on a memory to share. Hope you enjoy my walk down memory lane. Happy reading!
