I have no favorites but I have collected sayings and poems, etc. on many subjects. I guess the ones on Sr. Citizens have taken precedence.

TRAGEDY IN THE FAMILY
DID A TRAGEDY EVER STRIKE YOUR FAMILY? HOW WERE YOU AFFECTED?
Nothing more than a couple broken arms, a broken nose and an appendectomy, tonsillectomy, etc.

LEARNING TO DRIVE
HOW DID YOU LEARN TO DRIVE? WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR LIKE?
Gramps taught me to drive. Once when traveling at night, he became drowsy, so I drove. We came to our turn off (there were no previous signs), so at my regular speed, I made a left/right angle turn. Good thing there was a gas station there. I made a broad turn and slid on the gravel. Gramps, of course, woke up and said "pull over, I'm awake now". We changed sides and proceeded down the road. I heard a muffled cry and looked in the back seat. John was only a couple months old and standing on his head in his blankets.
Our first car was a 1933 Olds. We bought it just before we were married.

Rocky Mountains and Alaska.

TRAVELS TO OTHER COUNTRIES
DID YOU EVER TRAVEL ABROAD? HOW OLD WERE YOU AND WHERE DID YOU GO? DID YOU TRAVEL ALONE OR WITH A GROUP?
Gramps and I went to the Holy Land. A lady in our church in Covington wanted to send us. She always wanted to go but couldn't, so wanted to send her pastor. Of course, gramps led her husband to the Lord in his later years. That might have helped, also. All expenses paid and spending money.
Of course, we have been to Alaska and Mexico, not abroad, but out of the country.
