ello and welcome back!
I hope the road to right now
was one of little to no detours
or rough travels to speak of.
As the your week goes forward
that and debris and congestion
known to happen are cleared of
your adventures and destination.
riginally I was going to use
the 'road' theme for another reason.
I was heading in a different 'direction'
when I got lost or took a detour to a
Road Trip blog instead of my original destination.
ROAD LESS TRAVELEDwo roads diverged in a yellow wood
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth
Then took the other as just as fair
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
I doubted if I should ever come back
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood
And I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference
Robert Frost
So like a road trip - maybe going a different
way - can end up the fun way to go anyway!
though road trips dont seem
to be as common as they used to be.
I figure the younger kids have more things
to do with their time than our generation?
You know 500 TV channels along with
Internet stuff and video games take their
time away from just driving to someplace
just to see it, turn around and come back.
Yeah - well, that and GAS prices perhaps?
hen was your last road trip
y oldest daughter just went
for one and giggled on and on about hers
It made me want to just "GO" like I used to.
But road trips are not just for the young
My business partner (that just past)
was notorious for grabbing his wife
and jumping in the car for a trip to
whereever the car ends up taking them.
He was a lot older than me - you all ...
remember my dad would
do that often on Sunday's with us kids
and even more often without anyone ...
*ahem* showing back up days later ...
like my mom used to say:
"Smelling like 3 days of bad road & booze"
So, I'm going to jump in my car this weekend
and just goooo (with Lexy) and a few bucks ...
I'll fill you in if there is any interesting stories.
o - speaking of interesting stories -
Would you like to recall a good/bad
Road Trips?
Where you go?
What you do?
Why you go a certain direction?
Why you DONT go anymore?odays comment is a once used
(from a week before Thankgiving of this year)
I added a different look from back ground & fonts
he Pretenders "Middle of the Road"
Is todays video selection from 1984
Check out those fashion & hair styles!
So fun to look back at the 80's ...
But seriously WHAT were we thinking?ell, Thats all for today.
I hope the mid-week finds you
a lot less roughed-up than my
comment shows the first half ...
And the rest of the week
a smooth road to cruise!
The mid-week is time
I hope it's better than
the week so far:
I hope it finds you surviving first part of the week,
and the down hill part of the hump a smooth one
