Today Mike and I took a drive around the area...out to Inverness, Floral City and some other small communities. May not seem like much to many of you, but it was a ride on some back roads, through neighborhoods and something that wasn't the easiest thing to do in the part of southern CA we moved from. It reminded me of the Sunday afternoon drives my father would take the family on....always through the country where we could admire nature, see other towns, communities, neighborhoods. It was lots of fun, well unless my sister or brother would take up some of my room in the back seat....

So true! When I was little in the late 40s and early 50s we often took drives through the countryside on Sunday afternoons. What fun, exploring the land on the relatively primitive roads and highways. We would even stop at an ice cream stand if we happened by one.
This afternoon we took an hour drive to suburban Kansas City to attend a reception honoring a good friend's son who recently completed his PhD in chemical engineering. His dad and I coached together in the 70s and early 80s, he was head football coach and I was head basketball coach. One of my former assistant coaches was there and the former home economics teacher was there along with a couple of people we taught and coached back in the day. it was a fun afternoon catching up with old friends. Thanks for the post Pooh!
