Magpie 79- Road Trips!!

Image courtesy of Tess at Magpie Tales



This image reminded me immediately of being a teenager

and seeing how many could fit into one car and

the driver still be able to steer the car.

Hilarity abounded and we laughed and laughed.

I am so glad I grew up in a more innocent time.

  13. I grew up just a tad later when kids had their mom's station wagons and we could fit so many kids into those. Great memories.

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers!
