2007

"The years fly by like fenceposts past the car window, on a long trip to visit family".
Jon Dee Graham.

I remember:

Once a year mom and dad would drive the whole family on some pretty long and interesting road trips, sometimes from Sunnyside to Seattle.
My dad was the kind of guy that would pack the car the night before and get up at 3:30 a.m the next morning, turn up the radio real loud, wake up the tribe. (9 kids) have breakfast and hit the road by 6:30 am. After a couple of hours dad would get sleepy so mom would take over the driving. This was always the highlight of our road trips. We all knew mom was gonna go fast so we would all crowd the station wagon window and watch the trees fly by. Mom and dad still like their long road trips. Lord willing they will travel from Washington to Texas for a visit. Mom still likes to go fast.


Have a prosperous new year full of love, peace and hope.
Joel
