The Minivan

Why do a portion of our dear elderly population drive minivans? I find it a little confusing. I am not saying that it is bad, I just am confused about the motive, but in a good way.

When I think minivan I picture a young family with a couple adorable children, maybe expecting more..maybe not. This minivan would be used for driving to practices with all the neighborhood kids, loading up the floaties for the beach trips in the summer, and for minimizing any fighting that might take place due to the extreme close contact in a smaller car. So why do our grandparents drive minivans? Is there more room for grandchildren, or maybe it is an easier car to get in and out of? Who really knows except those that choose such a vehicle for themselves.

If I was a grandparent I would imagine myself to drive some kind comfortable sedan, that was a really smooth ride, was not too trendy or expensive, just something that was very reliable and comfortable.I think I would also like to have those really comfy wooly seat covers, and would also play the phantom of the opera and classical music. Maybe I am negatively profiling this generation of people, but this is a sincere thought I have always had!

I hope you are doing well in your life, whatever that might mean for you, and are enjoying your spring weather!

As a side note, I am going back to Austin on Sunday after 6 weeks of having my adventure! I am excited to see my dear friends and to be back in the "granola"ness of Austin! And the Mexican food is calling my name!!

Peace!

Pizza Cake

 
 
The Wonderous Pizza Cake syndrome that I currently am experiencing
has led me to my new dream job. Traveling the country..world if it leads to it
and trying various locally loved pizza establishments and cupcake stores.
I would love to have a blog, show, book, article, column about my fidnings.
A medium that would account for my travels, experiences, people met along
the way, food discoveries and fun! I just think that it would be soo much fun!
If the man that has the show about traveling trying various kinds of alcohol
can be successful, I really think that this idea would work!
 
Who doesnt love some kind of pizza and cupcakes are like the "thing" right now!
Maybe it really is easier than I am thinking. I just think that Pizza Cake sounds like
such a perfect part of my life! Although this endeavor seems a TAD unhealthy, you
only live once right?
 
Anyway, enough of my dreaming and scheming! But, if you think this sound like fun
and want to have an adventure...lets see what we can do! We are only young once,
we can dream big now, and why now!!
 
PS...sometime soon see for yourself how much more your taste buds will love you
for treating them to such fine cuisine!
 
Peace!
