Lessons from the Road

Summer road trips are some of my favorite. It reminds me of spending days facing backwards in the back of our station wagon headed west from Texas to California every summer. Some good memories of my dad picking a cactus off the side of the road for my mom to bring home, stopping at every Stuckey's ( the convenience store/souvenir store) along the way to find a papoose doll for my sister, and ...
