Spontaneity

Our family way of life is usually quite spontaneous. Our plans will have edges that keep us together but everything in between stays loose. Who knows what you’ll see, smell, hear or taste if everything isn’t charted out?

Those who accompany us either love it or dislike it. Fortunately, our favorite travel partners have taken to it, too.

After a quick trip from the airport recently, the three of us pivoted from going for delicious Filipino food again at Kasama because we wouldn’t make it before they closed to Mexican delicacies that are bountiful in the vicinity. We feasted heartily at a delightful restaurant tucked inside a tiny grocery store. When we asked what beverage options were available with lunch, the nice woman gestured toward an entire aisle of cold drinks!

We marveled at the unusual white beans on my mom’s plate and were pleased to see them raw in bags later in the store. We enjoyed our dessert, Nutella cookies and honeybuns, in the car as we made our way home.

Here’s to seeing where the road takes us!
