It is as intantible as a dream and I know I shall keep coming back to it in my mind.<BR/><BR/>In the end, I expect I will start thinking I dreamed this dream myself.<BR/><BR/>I know I won't do it . . . but, if I had the time, it has suddenly struck me it would be good to publish a hard-back book with a collection of really readable posts - and I'd put this one in it.<BR/><BR/>Mary Sharpe<BR/><A HREF="http://hughandcamellia.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">HUGH AND CAMELLIA</A>Mary Sharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366961487327381951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-50930104139991928352009-02-13T22:27:00.000-06:002009-02-13T22:27:00.000-06:00I have dreams where the brakes NEVER work! And I ...I have dreams where the brakes NEVER work! And I am lousy at backing up. Norm discovered one of my problems this summer when I couldn't look over my left shoulder cause I couldn't SEE out of my left eye. He has done most of the backing up in our family. My son-in-law will back me out of his loooong driveway if it's night time but makes me do it in the daytime!<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday to your family chil'ens!!Connie Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00000331487489593437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-59962477549618158252009-02-13T20:05:00.000-06:002009-02-13T20:05:00.000-06:00Im no good at backing either!

I can do okay at home with no one watching, but I'm sure some one would watch me sometime, somplace. Do you remember having to back up a hill on icy roads in the old days when all cars were rear wheel drive? I've heard people talk about it, but don't recall doing it myself. I guess it depends on what our "old days" are.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248430691218993969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-73958909251857520322009-02-13T15:49:00.000-06:002009-02-13T15:49:00.000-06:00hahaha You are such a hoot.Happy birthdays to you...hahaha You are such a hoot.<BR/>Happy birthdays to your nieces.
