• Inheriting the Red Hornet

    Picture this – faded fluorescent orange with yellow front quarter panels

    In our family, the general consensus is that teenagers don’t need a brand-new car for their first car.  Mom and Dad held to this philosophy and therefore, I did too when my kids were of the right age.  My dad must have been obsessed with the year 1972 because Lisa’s first car was a ‘72, my first car was a ‘72 and my second car was also a ‘72.

  • Driving Adventures

    I pride myself on being great with directions.  I can’t recall a single time I’ve been lost when I’m driving.  (Now if Mom is driving – that’s an entirely different story).  Even as a kid, I’ve always paid attention to things as we were traveling from one place to another.
