Sunday Drive

When I was little we would often go for a Sunday afternoon drive – if there was enough time after our Sunday naps! After David and I were married we still enjoyed the tradition. Back in the mid-1980’s when we lived in Nebraska we would put Tricia, Chris and Trevor in the car and head out on the country roads. Of course they were all country roads in the Culbertson area!! We would head out in the afternoon or evening after church and often stop for ice cream. There was one little town that had a frozen custard stand – that was really worth the drive!!

As empty-nesters we still enjoy a ride in the country and with GPS it’s more fun than ever because we can take the little side roads and all the extra turns we want and still be able to find our way home. LOL! Now we’ve added a mission – PICTURES!! David has a nice Nikon with all the bells and whistles. I have a little Cannon that I can just point and shoot - I like to keep it as simple as possible. A few weeks ago the country roads were calling and we headed out for our first spring drive. It was wonderful. We took little, narrow, gravel roads that were only wide enough for one car and stopped where ever we thought we could get a picture. It’s funny because the pictures we come up with are so different. David focuses in on a broader picture like a long winding road - like this. . .

. . .and at the same place I found this. (Look close - there are flowers!)

Next stop - he sees a big rolling pasture....

. . .and I saw. . .
Funny huh?? But then when we put it together we have this...

It’s already June – and I think it’s about time to head toward the hills again!

Oh yes – the other thing that is different about our drives now is that we are always watching our weight so the ice cream stop has been omitted! (Bummer!) I think David is planning a stop for a Blizzard in October – good grief he plans ahead sometimes!!!

Thanks for stopping buy!! Hope you are having a wonderful day – be sure to laugh a little!
