A Likely Story!

   Ah, summer...pretty much over, by the way.  If you're a kid in Fluvanna or Louisa, it's already done.  Other places are counting down and so many kids are going to be asked to tell the class "how they spent their summer."  How'd you spend yours?

   Did you go on a missions trip?  Did you go to a sports camp?  Did you plant yourself in front of a TV for Law & Order marathons and summer premieres? Maybe the beach, the mountains, or a lake trip were on your agenda.  But, how will your kids remember your summer?  Did you take them to a zoo?  To a museum?  To a park?  To the movies?  No judgments, just questions.  Don't start lamenting a lost opportunity here, okay?

   I look back on my summers and don't so much think about the destinations of our family trips in the Mercury station wagon and then later in the Honey RV (that was just slightly smaller than that Mercury).  It wasn't just that we were going somewhere, it was that we were together; that my parents took an interest in me and in my brother and wanted to be with us.  

   Now that I think about it, that's not such a likely story anymore, is it?  So, how'd you spend your summer?  

   The wagon rolls on - destination irrelevant.  Thanks for riding shotgun, know any roadtrip songs?
