So sad.<br /><br />This is my favorite part: "Mama spreading mustard on bread<br />on the hood of the car,<br />or rolling up deli meat<br />in tortillas for the boys" ... This reminds me of childhood road trips with my parents. But we always stopped to do the fun stuff. :)<br /><br />rosemarymint.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-3871187785359010772012-05-03T17:13:47.494-07:002012-05-03T17:13:47.494-07:00Funny how road trips and journeys change us and ou...Funny how road trips and journeys change us and our dreams.
