Driving Mrs Shelly

On Sunday afternoons there is something both Shelly and I try to treat ourselves to. We jump in the truck and take off to the city of ...... where else..... Charlotte. Even though the price of gas is sky high we still try to go. Its so much fun.... to me it's living a dream. When I was out of high school, I would drive up to Charlotte and then turn around and go back home. All because I love the vibes of the big city. I have always had a fascination for big city's and tall buildings. I remember when I was a kid and we would be on our way to visit my sisters and dad would go flying around 277. I always thought that was so cool while I glaze over at the sky line of Charlotte. It's kinda like I have always wanted to know all the roads around Charlotte and where they lead to and come out at. I use to be very intimidated to explore roads when I would drive up for the heck of it. Now It doesn't bother me at all- I actually love getting way out on a road and then trying to find my way back. Either we head towards the city( which is my favorite) or we will head for the country (which I enjoy almost as much also). It's so cool to see how people live in the country- although I already know this since I was raised in the country. You see people sitting on the front porch or their having a big cookout with screaming kids running all over the place. It is also cool to see old barns or old cars in the back yard that people just let sit there until it rots. When we head to the city, I like to get close to the center or either the perimeter of Charlotte. I just start taking turns and see where I wind up. You know, when we head to the city I'm trying to discover new places and new things and of course to see new sites. Next thing I hear, that chick of mine will say....man this area sure has grown up since the last time I came through. I use to come this way to work. It happens all the time. Here I am trying to go exploring and she has already seen it a half a million times. A few Sundays ago I was around south park area looking at the new tall buildings and was like man it would be cool to come and eat up here sometime... guess what the next thing I heard was.... yea me and the girls from work come out to eat here sometimes while we are on lunch.... what am I gonna do with that chick.... I'm sure there are very many people that would think we are crazy for driving around Charlotte but like I said... I use to dream about doing this when I was younger. If you told me something you enjoyed doing then I might think you were crazy... you see how that works... that's why we always say- different strokes for different folks. How cool is that though....to have a wife that enjoys sharing your dreams with you. That's my Shell Bell.
