It's just life - too much at work, too many deadlines, jury service coming up, falling off a dock into the water... Yes! I did! No harm done, but it seems to have set me off my axis a bit. <br /><br />I love this poem. I'm an Iowa girl who remembers when Interstate 80 first was built. I'd sit on our front step and listen to the big trucks whining their way to Chicago or Omaha, and I wanted to gogogogogogogo....<br /><br />Funny. I did go to Kansas City after a year's worth of college. I worked there for a couple of years, and my Dad let me take his Mustang down there for a little while. It was cobalt blue with a white interior. My best friend and I would go to Country Club Plaza and have dinner, and then just drive around. It was a good time, a good escape - but I'd be more than willing to be back in that little Iowa town now.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-75680405585821333992013-03-20T09:39:52.524-05:002013-03-20T09:39:52.524-05:00You silly ... lol.

Two friends had Mustangs back in the day and we used to cruise around. One was red and my favorite was pale yellow with baby blue interior.<br />Sorry I haven't been around much. I went back to work about a month ago after nine months off for health reasons. Hanging in there, but just spent two days in the hospital and had to take a week off already. Going back to work on Monday, and will visit when I can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-45054248650197020892013-03-14T08:48:31.531-05:002013-03-14T08:48:31.531-05:00Forgiving you was easy, forgetting seems to take t...Forgiving you was easy, forgetting seems to take the longest time. ~ Willie :)) Credit not mine to take or give ... steal away...Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-66422527761271918802013-03-14T01:25:27.258-05:002013-03-14T01:25:27.258-05:00Please forgive me if you find that I have borrowed...Please forgive me if you find that I have borrowed that camera graphic sometime in the future without giving you credit?Doc Häagen-Dazshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00577427442824705257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-58519422201486996532013-03-13T12:26:47.969-05:002013-03-13T12:26:47.969-05:00:):)Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-22609629739381993992013-03-13T11:45:01.704-05:002013-03-13T11:45:01.704-05:00"sands of time"!
