An evening walk

Thursday was a slow day, mainly spent indoors, until a good friend invited me on a walk. It was too tempting to say no and wild horses, dirty dishes or piles of laundry couldn't keep me away.

We have traded cars with my father-in-law for the weekend so I wasn't sure I could make it. You see, he drives an automatic while I have only ever driven a stick shift. Besides that, you have to do everything just right to get those wheels to move an inch. I was definitely willing to give it a try, though.

Luckily, I didn't have to adjust the seat or rear view mirrors and somehow I found the keyhole. Suddenly, I managed to get that kitty purring and moving. I was so pleased with myself I forgot where I was headed and took a wrong turn, putting me on the highway.

I did arrive eventually and like the local paper in Stamford, NY apparently used to conclude; a good time was had by all.
