Yesterday, I got the itch to drive. I implored my husband and my daughter to be my companions and we drove around for several hours, listening to music, and watching the people and the new construction happening all the way down a long beach road not too far from our home. We only made a couple of stops, one for some pizza, in a fun, laid back beach town, and one stop at my daughter’s favorite, The Candy Kitchen. The Candy Kitchen is a small local chain that dots the Beach Road. It is one of those old fashioned penny candy type stores that carries all of the “oldies but goodies” plus delicious ice cream. My daughter got those wax bottles filled with sugary juice and I got some Smoothies which are the butterscotch equivalents of Reese’s peanut butter cups. My husband stayed in his comfort zone with chocolate covered gummy bears.
Yesterday was a good day. A good, long drive with people whom I love to hang out with and to experience life with, and a candy store that makes nostalgia a delicious experience – it’s just what soothed the soul!
