Carriage Rides

The other day, I noticed a carriage drawing up at the nursing home where my mother lives...

The activities team comes up with interesting activities for the residents. I'm sure that many of them will enjoy driving around the neighborhood in a horse-drawn buggy.

Too bad my mother's vision is so poor that she wouldn't see anything. Getting into the buggy wouldn't be easy either.

She grew up on a farm - and, in fact, rode a horse to school her last year of high school.

But I don't remember her ever looking back nostalgically on those horse and buggy days.
