SUNRISE

When my granddaughter spends the night I get to see sunrises on the way to taking her to school. Usually I sleep through all that beauty! I love all the pink and purple in the sky. 






Last night was Bible study night. A nice couple picks me up so I don't have to drive in the dark. This was the first time they picked me up in the Volkswagen. Getting me out of the backseat turned into a huge comedy of errors. I could only get one leg out. Charlotte tried to help me but all she did was pull me intoi the floor. We tried and tried and laughed so hard our sides were hurting. Finally her husband came around and he was able to pull me up and out.  Needles to say, I got a ride home with someone else in a nice, great big SUV. Darlene to the rescue!

I hope you're having a great week. It's cold here and we have a nice fire going.

  1. Beautiful skies!
    I can empathize with you getting out of that VW! It's good to be able to laugh at ourselves, right?

  2. Oh my! I had trouble getting out of a sedan for quite awhile now. We had to buy an SUV. It is amazing to me how much trouble it is to just find a place to sit now that I am old!

    1. The older I get, the harder it is to get in and out of my car!

  3. Who knew that riding in a VW could be such an adventure? I am assuming that you are speaking of a Beetle. I have driven VWs for over twenty years and passengers have had no trouble getting in and out of my Jetta, Tiguan or Golf!

  12. What a lovely sunrise and you even captured to fog
    In the 1960's I rode in a VW beetle from our coast (with my uncle) back to our home 150 miles. YIKES I felt like I was in the Flintstones car
