However, embarrassment doesn ’ t bother you when you ’ re dead in the grave and maybe that ’ s the lesson here today. Mom loved to send packages to me in Arizona. She often mailed pencils, recipe clippings, bars of soap, cereal, odds and ends that were meaningful to her.

Oh, no - I'd back off and not get anywhere close to her vehicle. At least, she provided a warning - a very kind gesture, I think. LOL

ReplyDeleteThere are definitely some good things about being a "senior", and NOT having PMS is one of them. Come to think of it, THAT license plate could have been mine 30 years ago!
Be blessed!

If that had been an Oklahoma plate I would have bet my daughter was driving it!!! Every day on her way home she calls me to complain about all the drivers in the city!
