Several days ago I saw a Second Life picture that featured as part of the scene a station wagon, which stirred up some memories and a little melancholy.  It took me to happy memories in my youth, because a station wagon was our family vehicle for many years.  While my father had a love for big vehicles and by that I mean they were very long by today’s standards.  I remember one of his favorites was a 1979 Lincoln Town Car and it was in the eighties when he owned it.  As I think about it today, I don’t know if a station wagon would have been his first choice of vehicles to drive.   In his case, you could say it was an absolute necessity with eight children.

There were many road trips that we did going across the country to visit my father’s family, who lived on the west coast.  I don’t know how we managed to all fit in the station wagon, though maybe that explains why it only took dad three days to go from Florida to the state of Washington.  After spending the weekend with two children under the age of five — I can only imagine eight children would be incentive enough to drive with very little sleep and only necessary stops like gassing up just to get to your destination as quickly as possible.

That’s what made me search on marketplace for a station wagon and found this green one, which besides the color resembles one of the wagons we had.  It was perfect.   What made it right was that it has a Texas license tag and that’s where dad was born.
