Joyride

Saturday mornings are up at 8:15, dress, and drag my daughter to dance . . . except for the Saturday I awake to the realization that, although I took the wagon to school yesterday, I never did bring it home . . . it’s been out all day and all night, and I have no other way to get Nola to class in time. So today, it’s get dressed, rush to the schoolyard, and worry until . . . it’s still there! Five feet from where I left it—a rail is missing, but I find that nearby—like someone took my wagon out for a very short joyride.

    Wow! What were the odds of it still being there? Glad no one took it for a permanent joyride!

    I wonder what ever happened to the other railing? Be that as it may, glad you found it.

    Such a sweet and funny story, and a beautiful picture of your darling girl!

    One doesn't often see 'wagon' and 'joyride' in the same sentence...:)
