Didn't think about it at the time, but can't imagine why Dad wanted to drive as he drove log truck all week long, then on Sunday would turn around and drive some more?? Does not sound relaxing to me, BUT we had a great time and always saw lots of the countryside where we lived. Still go for those Sunday afternoon drives :)Luci & Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532319517164921110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-54042953717720445282015-02-08T17:01:16.339-06:002015-02-08T17:01:16.339-06:00I too remember Sunday drives.

My version of Kurt was about 2 to my 9 and of no interest to me at all. Glad your rides then and now turned out better than mine. Your pictures of the lake views are gorgeous. So glad your idiot of a boss still keeps the bird tours. Everyone needs something to look forward to each week or preferably each day if they can manage it. Tough luck for next year's birders at Imperial. They can thank his highness..Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-16090357370965603192015-02-08T14:02:15.306-06:002015-02-08T14:02:15.306-06:00I'm glad you are remembering the important thi...I'm glad you are remembering the important things in life, lie the month's supply of oranges!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418668511495166842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-65496963735694419322015-02-08T13:47:18.344-06:002015-02-08T13:47:18.344-06:00Isn't Mother Nature absolutely amazing.

When my mom died in 2000 it was my dad, and Peggy and Myself in town and we got into a habit of taking a day long ride with dad most weekends for the next 6 years. We covered delightful parts of WI, IL, IA and MN during those years and I heard family stories that had never come out in all my years and we three had a time of bonding in a completely different way. Thanks for a reminder of a really good time in life.
