It's Thanksgiving today. I'm sitting here typing up some more of Mom's journals and this is what she wrote on Tuesday, January 24, 1995:
"1 Cor. 9:27 – I buffet my body"
My first thought was .... hmmm buffet or buffet? Webster’s Dictionary says buffet used as a verb is to drive, force, move, or attack by or as if by repeated blows. Buffet used as a noun is a meal set out on a buffet at which guests help themselves. Since today is Thanksgiving, I'm choosing the noun. Tomorrow I'll choose the verb!

Learning to Drive
How did you learn to drive?
I was blessed to have Driver's Education classes in High School. We were taught how to parallel park, do u-turns, drive on the highway, etc. And I passed the exam on the first try because of the class. The actual practicing of driving was "interesting". Mom wouldn't do it and Dad was working so Grandma volunteered. She was great. Unfortunately Aunt Linda went with us sometimes and she was a nervous rider. We were on the Northway for the first time and a semi was passing on the right. Aunt Linda said, "watch out! You don't want to get caught in their draft." She was afraid I would go towards the truck because of it's pull and be sucked underneath the truck. Yeah, right. However, it did give me an unhealthy fear of passing semi until I was in my 40s. Thanks a lot, Aunt Linda!!
I learned to drive in Mom's station wagon.
