The other day at the Burg Grocery, I mentioned to a lady with the unusually cold weather in our midst, I hoped she had our flight tickets ready for our trip to Hawaii! Ha! Her answer was that when they build a bridge she would go.
My mother always used that phrase when talking about the possibility of flying to Ireland or Germany. "Not until they build that bridge across the pond." She was deathly afraid of water. She even preferred showers over bathing in a cupful of water. She also made sure that we kids took swimming lessons at an early age. She didn't even wait around for the Red Cross group lessons, but in addition to those, we were given private lessons ahead of time. Maybe a little bit of an overkill but, we knew how to swim and were not afraid of water.
