Life's too short to keep your car mats clean.
~Theresa Overall

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rodney and I drove together to Moose River Outpost for Labor Day weekend. I had just been in New York the week before and had told him that one of the things I treated myself to in New York was a "real" car wash where someone else vacuums for you with those powerful machines and had scrubbed all sorts of parts that I never get to when I clean my car. I even had my car mats cleaned. We drove to camp, unloaded our stuff into the cabin on the west side of the lake and then got back in the car to drive to the North Lodge--our central headquarters for the weekend of fun. We, of course, now have dirt on our shoes from the camp. Rodney tries to shake the dirt off his feet and then apologizes for getting my clean car mats dirty. I replied, "Life's too short to keep your car mats clean." I didn't realize how profound it was when I said it, but Rodney did. He said, "That should be on a bumper sticker!" And so I've put it in the next best place if you can't afford to have a bumper sticker made . . . here in my quotes blog.
