How did we survive?

I have been loving the warm days lately, especially the last two that had highs in the eighties.  Unfortunately my car airconditioner doesn't seem to want to wake up after its long winter's nap.  I am taking it in to the dealership tomorrow to get it fixed but, while driving around town today with my windows open, I was reminded of my honeymoon.  My husband and I chose to honeymoon in Texas, specifically in the "Big Bend" area, in July.  Hot! Hot! Hot! We were driving a 1965 (new to us) yellow and white Dodge Rambler.  A very nice car but not equiped with airconditioning.  I remember driving across Texas - a long, long drive - with our windows wide open for any breeze we could catch.  We also had wet face cloths that we held against our faces and necks. Altogether an interesting journey and a bit of a test of our newly wed status.  Happily we survived, our next car had airconditioning, and we stayed married for almost 38 years. While I cherish the memories, I will have my airconditioning fixed tomorrow.
