Landmarks

Sophie is starting to notice the buildings as we pass by. The local courthouse is a "pyramid" where the "gytptos" live. The main road through the next town is "the road to Pappaw's (grandpa's) house" and the park is "almost to Mamaw's house". Most of the time it's cute and sweet, until Momma told me today that she saw a blue truck that looked like Pappaw's and recognized it at once. "Look, that's Pappaw's truck!!!" Then it's more bitter than sweet. Four months and two days. Not that I'm counting.
