Nostalgia

 

"Yuck!!!!!"

This was from my daughter. We were in a Reading High School souvenir store. Rick had just said, "We could get matching shirts."

"That's what old folk do on cruises," she added.

We were on a nostalgia tour. He was showing me his childhood, I was showing him mine. 

We did get Reading Rockets shirts, but not matching. Rick uses his as pj top. I roll over at night and in the dim light, I have memories of football games in crisp fall air, book covers with the rocket and R on them and wearing red and black to show my school loyalty.

When we picked Llara up the following spring, we wore our non-matching Reading Rocket shirts.

No yuck that time when we hugged. Maybe she thought at least we weren't wearing them on a cruise.
