Well, my brothers probably were born knowing.<br /><br />On a family vacation a few years after dad was gone, it was mom and me and six grandkids at Letchworth. I lined it up on the first go and looked up. Six men in a semicircle in front of the car. I laid it in on on one go. They didn't deserve a second chance.<br /><br />Know exactly how you felt.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834682329952369721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-91597482545942362372013-09-07T11:14:50.218-06:002013-09-07T11:14:50.218-06:00Sounds like you were a fast learner, Diane!

I remember when Dad put a float in the parade, pulling one trailer and pushing the other. I was the chosen driver and people just shook their heads at the very thought that I could navigate the parade doing that.George Stringamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11375285536941813368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723327840869334395.post-50805355897113966622013-09-07T09:18:52.782-06:002013-09-07T09:18:52.782-06:00I am learning lots of great things about you, Dian...I am learning lots of great things about you, Diane!
