I was never much of a movie watcher, but sometimes a movie comes around that I just want to crawl into the screen and live it. One of these movies is Driving Miss Daisy. I'm not for sure if it's because I am doing my genealogy or it's just my age but I could watch this movie over and over.... and I do. Life seemed so simple then. Seemed 'clean'. We don't see the hardships of the past, we only see the simpleness of it all. As I watch this movie, I want to smell the fresh air, feel the rain on my face, and the feel of being in one of those old cars.
I bought the soundtrack to Driving Miss Daisy. Sometimes when I'm in my Jeep all by myself and play this CD, I can imagine my Great Grandma Wilson driving down the street with her pretty little hat and gloves on, running her errands. Sometimes I see myself at the age I am, not the age I feel as I putt-putt down the street. I try not to see this scene too much though!
