Photo-My brother and I, many years ago. Our sister was born about 7 years after this photo was taken. Her first trip to Kansas, she was very young, what a trip that was, hot, hot, hot, before the Florida turnpike! That was the year our grandmother (mothers mother) went with us, before car seats, just about before everything. How did we do that, 3 adults, 3 kids and an old car without air. I'm thinking, after that year, my dad bought a new car every 3 years just so we could drive to Kansas. He always took such good care of his cars. I remember stopping, after my sister threw up all over my mother blouse, my mom changing, us eating our lunch, having devil eggs, all before we left Florida. We just drove far enough so my dad couldn't turn around. Well, that is what memories are made of.
