I sat on the front porch last night remembering days from the past, remembered that blue 67 camaro with the 327 and how I loved to drive it fast. She screamed like the wind when I put the hammer down and all the guys watched when I cruised the town. The guys all asked when I pulled into that old bar what's a girl like you doing with a fast car? Then I'd just laugh and smile and say "Don't you know that old saying is true, wild eyed girls like fast cars too." I sat and thought of my old crazy ways, thinking about those good old days. Yeah, those old days I sure am missing, as I sit on the front porch reminiscing.... On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. |

It's always so much fun to go back and remember the things we loved when we were younger. Today, my friend and I talked for an hour and a half about TV shows and toys we had when we were little. It was a great time and brought back sooooo many memories. Great poem, Gentle Spirit. Elizabeth You cling to your ways and leave mine to me. Suum cuique. ~Elizabeth |

Elizabeth, yes it is fun to go back and remember. Thanks for leaving your comments this evening.  BSC, I don't have that 67 camaro anymore, but man I loved that car. There were so many memories in that car. I can just imagine what it would have been like to have it back in the 60's.....lol.....but then I wasn't even old enough to think about driving back then.....but it just goes to prove a point, that some things, when wonderful to start with just never change. Thank YOU for the trip down memory lane. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. |

Gentle Spirit, You stired up a few of my own memories. I have always liked to drive a car 'with enough motor'! Even today, I can't go near a speed way or Go Cart track, (I'll knock the grandkids down to get my turn,hehe). Hey, I'm pretty good, bet you are to. Once had a Chev. '80 with a 454, humm boy, good ole days! Thanks for the memories and sharing, getting to know you guys. Connie |
