The Backward Life

We have been in the car going on nine hours now. The alphabet game has lost its fun, the scenery has lost its beauty and the smell is not so sweet. There should never be seven people in a vehicle with two dogs unless it's a bus in Mexico- and then there should also be a few loose chickens.

Christmas Eve in a car for a ten-hour car ride is not the best idea, but it could be worse. Okay, I can't really think of anything right now, but I know there are worse things.

Even the dog is bored.

  2. Hi there! I think I linked to your blog via Judy (above) and I am stoked to have found it! I checked out some of your earlier posts and I enjoy your humor and your writing style. I read books as if they are good wine - meaning I read nightly and with great gusto! I was jazzed to see your good reads section and look forward to following you.
    Oh, and your title! I don't know why it is so attractive to me but it is....One more thing... the word verification? the "word" was OTBRAS - go figure.
