Adventures With Ma

Monday has special meaning in the life of Ma.

Shopping.

Shopping is usually a good thing, particularly if the milk is nearly gone and the paper towel holder has less than 1/4 of a roll.

And shopping by herself is nearly always a dream come true.

Still, it might surprise folks if they were told that despite the exhilarating and heady experience of purchasing cow and paper products, Ma also has dreams of a more adventurous nature.

For instance, when passing a meandering creek, Ma occasionally wonders at the possibility of following said creek, hiding from the world, and living off the land for a month or two.
If one could surmount the problems of mosquitoes, no food or TV, that is....

Or think about clouds. Ma ponders, "What would it be like to sit atop one?"
They certainly don't look damp. And would it still resemble Pulcinella if one were up close and personal?

Then there are the high-wheeled, field sprayers.
While traveling slowly and waiting to pass, Ma can't help but notice the clearance under the vehicle's body...who among us has not imagined driving right---between---those---wheels?

The driver's manual appears rather silent on the matter.

Ah well.

There are times for pursuing dreams, and there are times for depositing ice cream into the freezer.

Tonight, the ice cream wins.

Tomorrow....who knows?

And that's all,

of Adventures With Ma.
