After asking my husband for a random topic to write about, he curtly answered with “convertible cars”. An interesting topic on a rainy day while absorbed in his Sunday ritual of watching football on the screen. What would conjure up the notion of riding with the top down on such a gray day filled with tackles and touchdowns? One might say the lack of sun creates dreams of sun-streaked skies, however, we live in Florida and the occasional cloudy downpour is welcomed as a reprieve. In fact, there are days we close all the blinds in the house to briefly escape the bright sunny rays of our endless summers. Convertible cars. Hmmmmm, maybe it’s a season of life. With one son off at college and another son juggling school, work, and friends, we find ourselves home alone thinking of our next adventures. Jet skis and kayaks all within the foreseeable future when our teenagers’ cars and college expenses have come to an end. It will then be on to our next phase of life - jet skiing, kayaking…and a car with a view. Convertible cars.
