Is it just me, or do you also look back to how you got to where you are and the path that led to getting you there? I am in the process of writing an extensive view of my memories of my trip. This is only a small part that I wanted to share with you, my friends. If you are older, and went to school with me, I think you will relate. If you are younger, this is how it was when I was young. Have a great day!
Saturday Shopping - In the Day
By Franklin Price

My mother never drove a car
She said, “That's not for me”
She tried it once, when she was young,
And ran into a tree.
So Saturday, when dad was off,
He drove mom to the market.
She had to go to all around
He would drive to each and park it
I remember first, the A&P
And the Piggly Wiggly store
Winn Dixie came a little later
Now there are so many more
Each one had some special foods
She could not live without
She had to have her bon bons
There was never any doubt
For the twenty dollar budget
Paper bags filled up the boot
Then to a service station
Pulled to the pump, and gave a toot
The attendant who was working
Came to the driver's side
Asked if he could fill it up
For pumping gas, was qualified
He filled the tank for under four
Cleaned the windshield and the lights
Checked the oil and the water
These were the driver's rights
When the gas was paid for,
And with all the windows down,
With four forty AC working well
They headed home and out of town.
