A TRIP TO REMEMBER

              Are you ready to take a ride, Minnie?

              You know me, boss, just like a battery, I’m ever ready.

              Then hop in the car and let’s get going.

              Where are we going today, boss?

              It’s a bit of a surprise for you, Minnie. We’re going to the park for our walk today.

              Sounds good to me, boss, I don’t think I’ve ever been to the country for a walk.

              You’re going to like it, Minnie. We’re going to the park where your grandmother, Timmie, and I used to go walking.

              I’m excited, boss. I’ll just sit back here taking in the scenery. Let me know when we arrive.

              We’re almost there, Minnie.

              It looks really nice, boss. Look at all these trees. This is going to be something special.

              Well, here we are, Minnie. Jump out and let’s get going.

              What is this, boss, a forest or something?

              I think you could call it that, Minnie, but there are trails to walk on so we won’t get lost.

              This is really different, boss. There are no buildings, or sidewalks. There aren’t even any people here. If I may say so, it’s almost heaven.

              I think you could say that, Minnie., and we just got started. Wait until you see what’s ahead.

              Look at that, boss. That’s the largest dog I’ve ever seen.

              It would be that, Minnie, but it’s not a dog. That’s a deer.

              Call it what you want, boss, I want one. Whoa, what happened, boss? That thing took off faster than a jack rabbit.

              I don’t think you want to try catching a deer, Minnie. You’re fast, but not that fast.

              This place is really great, boss. I can’t believe the number of squirrels, chipmunks, and birds we’ve seen; and the air is filled with the most delicious fragrances. Can we stay here a little longer, boss?

              I’d like to, Minnie, but we’ve got to get back to work. Maybe some other time.

              I’ll remember this one, boss, I’ll even dream about it.
