a few extra evenings with Margie and Lance. They've called us a few times, in the evenings, to come get them when they are going a little stir crazy in the MTC. Tonight we were going to dinner with the Roylances and Wanda to celebrate all our birthdays. Gary's was on the 27th, Wanda's on the 29th, mine on the 31st, and Eileen's was today. So when Margie and Lance called us, we had them come, too (which was totally appropriate as Margie's birthday is the same day as mine).
We enjoyed talking about some of the memories of Grandma Ashton (Afton), and her driving habits. I had forgotten that Gary had asked Gary Roylance to go out driving with Grandma so she could pass the driving test when she had to renew it. The memories he related were classic Grandma. Everyone in the neighborhood knew Grandma Ashton from her very slow, and somewhat erratic, driving. We were always being told by friends and neighbors that they knew they were behind Grandma when they got stuck behind a long line of slow moving cars.
This is what we've looked like on the nights Margie and Lance have come up. We put a fireplace log on, make hot chocolate, and kicked back.

I remember Grandma Ashton's driving. It WAS scary.
I remember being behind her-a long memory.
