When we were coming out from the airport, I hired a <b><a href="http://www.luxurycabservice.com.au/" rel="nofollow">Yellow Taxi</a></b> and the song was playing inside the taxi.

We used to do OK - my daughter helped me on a Saturday - then they altered the traffic system, put the bus station the other end of town, built a huge out of town Tesco stores and that crippled any chance the traders had of making a living. I walked through Shrewsbury market today and was so pleased to see a lot more people in there shopping so looks like 'what goes around comes around'. Yes it was hard work, but the other traders were such a good bunch to work with and we got to know each of our customers by name. They still stop and speak now if I happen to see them, which is nice.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-42814524982703961502012-04-13T12:01:59.989-07:002012-04-13T12:01:59.989-07:00Great story Molly.

I said "What the worst that people can think about you? That you are from a family that loves you?" They said "OH! I didn't think about it THAT way." And they let the kisses continue. They are funny at that age. We had a slow old car too and loved that thing beyond reason like your Tranney.

"Let me get out here, Mom", she would say about a block before our destination, but I wouldn't. She was mortified, but I wanted to make sure she was safe and in the door. Her dad would pick her up and they made a pact as where to meet up. He was easier than I at times. <br /><br />Many people (men)who are following behind me in their cars also like to give me hand gestures. At least you had the excuse of the car not working properly, with me, there is something about my driving and staying below or at the speed limit that brings out the worst in them.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-26285050378224442682012-04-09T13:58:08.944-07:002012-04-09T13:58:08.944-07:00They don't though do they :)They don't though do they :)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-4352321885261356882012-04-09T13:38:21.164-07:002012-04-09T13:38:21.164-07:00He might have warned you.He might have warned you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-6690481075569509942012-04-09T13:28:56.338-07:002012-04-09T13:28:56.338-07:00Glad you did Sue.Glad you did Sue.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8682178071645530840.post-76238138708666896282012-04-09T13:28:10.714-07:002012-04-09T13:28:10.714-07:00Oh Amy, no I didn't!
