Cars and Birthdays

It seems to be expected that a child will get a car when they turn 16. The neighbor boy got a good used car for his birthday. He also got quite a bit of money in cards. He said he was happy to see the money for gas. His folks invited me over to enjoy the celebration with a great deal of good food. Having a big lunch will carry me over where I won't need supper. It was fun having conversations with folks I know but don't get to see that often. It rained a little but finally stopped. Just enough to get the grass wet.
