Great story. Brilliantly crafted, Wonderfully woven. I laughed at the description of the “Frozen Doll” the frozen drink and your frozen moment at the end. Thank you
I feel for you and your daughter. As a child I was constantly car sick. It went away when I learned to drive but I’m always behind the wheel and hardly ever ride. I really want to read some Zola and maybe book a trip to Florida? Idk it sounds terrifying
That photo is PRICELESS! what a great read 💗 I am especially moved by the reappearance of the frozen lemonade 😘🥹🫣
Loved this!!
I am so grateful you read it, Margaret! Thank you.

This is deeply moving for me as I spent ages 8-19 growing up in celebration Florida
What a place! Thank you for reading.
It WAS a great read, start to finish. In college, I thought reading Zola was punishment. If only I had had a "you" to share thoughts with. Thank you.
The green beer in honor of Avatar. The parallelism with childhood trips in third-row of vans. The Zola breakdown. This was a great read!
What a compliment!! Thank you so much for taking the time to read it.
Loved this! Thanks! Got to get ready for the day now!

Thank you. He’s her dad.
This had me lolling. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thank you, Kaia!
This reminds me of the Seinfeld series.
Your writing has a sort of meandering depth that reminded me of reading Bukowski. I really enjoyed the cadence of it.
I’m happy to never have to return to “the happiest place on Earth” with or without small children and adult family members!
Very sharp writing.
Where is your home state? I find Florida, and Orlando, soul sucking, tedious, and ugly. But I am from Oregon.....
