    Description

    Do You Remember the Day You Got Your Driver's License and the Whole World Was Your Oyster?

    Do You Remember the Day You Got Your Driver's License? I can, the joy, the liberation, INDEPENDENCE and the FREEDOM! But now it and my 57 Ford Fairlane are a distant memory, totally overshadowed by the day I was told that my vision was too poor to keep driving. My pickup and go got up and went and now I wait for someone to call and tell me they are going somewhere and I can 'come along' or they ask if I need to get out. Heck YEAH... I need groceries, a cup of coffee with a friend or a haircut because everything is better when I look and feel sharp. These small everyday activities that most folks overlook are huge gifts to me... please get more information and think about how you can help with these everyday activities that make life better!
