Slow Ride

I've recently discovered, and I think my beloved would agree, that some of our favorite times together are actually spent going places. But not necessarily the destination itself, but the car ride there. It is one of the few opportunities that we have to be together in stillness and quiet and talk and reflect on things. I can even handle the non-stop Wee Sing songs, as long as it keeps my jewel content for the duration. So I am greatly looking forward to our little road trip this coming weekend, not necessarily because of the destination and the food that awaits us (though that's still very important to my beloved :-), but because of the car ride and the time I get to spend with my soul mate.
