51 minutes?

tcr! · Aug 14, 2021 at 8:32 am

Selfie with sunrays

Looking for things to do on this fine sunny Saturday in August and I found a record collector show in Orland Park. I enjoy vinyl records but where the hell is Orland Park?

51 minutes away I see. 51 minutes? I can’t drive 51 minutes to go somewhere. By myself? In this weather? Forget it.

But all is not lost. Windy Acres Farm is having a blueberry festival today and it’s only 11 minutes from my house. I can do 11 minutes.

In related news… when I’m not a driving force in life I end up riding in the backseat of someone else’s car.

Blueberries - so delicious. And a good reason to get out of the house!!

Love hearing you think out loud! And yes, 51 minute drive way too far on a beautiful day.

today?! depending on your report, might have to wander down the street and check it out…

Definitely worth checking out! Even more so if you like blueberries and ice cream.

We went over 51 miles to see a ghost town today. Here is a sample of what was seen.

Way cool! I might very well drive 51 miles to see a ghost town, too. I suspect the buildings were off limits though. 🤔

Take solace in knowing they’re there

When I got to be around 14 or so I started hanging out in my dad’s basement whenever I was at his house. I watched tv down there, smoked cigarettes, and was up to all around mischief. I intentionally set the basement carpet on fire with hairspray more than twice.

When my dad was home I still hung out in the basement though. It wasn’t anything personal against him. It was more that I felt like I could be myself when I was in the basement.

I saw the dude for the first time since October this past weekend. Sunday we just hung out. He took a nap in his room. The greatest comfort I’ve ever had was just knowing he was near. We don’t have a basement, but your story resonated in my heart.

Bike rides with your kids are great. My youngest daughter and I try to ride around the neighborhood a couple nights a week. We find so much great free stuff at times to. She now has her driver’s licence but still rides with me.

Our 14 year old barely emerges from his room. But every few weeks he’ll ask to go on a drive at night and we’ll blast music and drive country roads for an hour, just the two of us. I’m glad he has his own thing but still let’s me in once in a while.
