When I get home. . .

"When I get home, I thought, I’ll tap dance for Sidda and Little Shep and Lulu and Baylor and feed them peanut butter and bananas and we will talk about summer. We will talk about Spring Creek, where the sun beats down so hot on the pine needles that when you step on them they release a fragrance so pungent that you want to pick them up off the earth and tuck them inside your clothes, just to bring that piney smell in closer to yourself. I will roll on the clean rug with my babies and tickle their backs, and I will tell them stories about sailing through raging storms in a boat I built myself. We will play Columbus and journey together to worlds unknown. When I get home, I will dump that G-d- Ford sedan. By hook or crook, I’ll have a new Thunderbird. When I get home, I will hug my four babies. I will hug the man I have married. I will do my best to give thanks for gifts, strangely, beautifully, painfully wrapped."

From "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" by Rebecca Wells
Chapter 25, when Vivi comes home and embraces her life.

I love T-Birds! I had a 1979 two-tone blue T-Bird in college and the first bit of grad school. It was a great car. Sadly, it had lived in OH for too long and had some structural rust problems which compelled my daddy to take the T-Bird away =-[ I loved The Bird!
