Saturday Surprise

riding gravel roads, windows down
finding a favorite shady spot
afternoon picnic, wading in the creek
Saturday Surprise from my childhood
let's go out to eat, fifties style.

Thanks, Anne-Lise, yes, my family was small (just 5 of us) but we were close. Appreciate your time and energy.

Lovely comment thanks, Caren. My memories stretch back a-ways. Many Sunday afternoons we'd go for a ride; always ending up at a pre-Dairy Queen type of drive-in.
