New England in the Fall.
October 24, 2009
Some of my best memories: every autumn, the Calvert County school system in Maryland would have a five-day holiday, and since my mom was a teacher, that meant five whole days of meandering around in the great Northeast, “leaf-peeping” and living on the apples, cheese, and cider from roadside stands. The last year, we dropped my brother off in Connecticut to hang out with my dad, stepmom, and half-sister. Then my mother and I were off on our own to Cape Cod and points beyond with our German shephard in tow.
To this day—as when we returned from that last mini-vacation, in 1973—when I want to get on my brother’s good side I get him maple sugar candy, like the kind we brought him way back when to buy his good wishes. After all, we needed the space: two ladies and a big dog, travelling in a VW bug, and sleeping in it at night?—Geez. We needed the space. No boyz allowed.

Oh, and now I feel like Madonna; if only my husband saw it that way . . . of course, maybe he does!
