mocha’s marvelous ride

—

John has a 1972 MG Midget — this super-cool and adorable little convertible — we affectionately call her Midgey, or at least I do.  During the Spring, Summer, and Fall John likes to drive it as his daily driver and in the Winter Midgey stays safely tucked away in storage.

Sometimes we take a drive in Midgey just for the heck of it, John, Mocha, and I.  It is only a two-seater, so Mocha has to sit behind us near the roll bars.  It is a little akward, but we all get comfy and it works.  Then we cruise around.

Well, yesterday evening we (all 3 of us) went to get Midgey out of storage.  I had to follow John home in our other vehicle, so I let Mocha take my place in the passengers seat.  She borrows the passenger seat from time-to-time when it is just John and her tootling around.  Well, I have to say — they looked so darn cute.  I have seen them in the car together before, but I don’t usually have the opportunity to snap photos.

This time, I did get to snap some photos… Mocha had just the most fun little adventure.  She like to lean to the side so the windshield doesn’t get in the way of her sniffin’.  And, the exhaust makes her sneeze.  When we got home, Mocha just went right to sleep (it was only 8pm); I think her little adventure wore her out!

Look at those smiles!  This is my little family.

Mocha is a little unsure about the sounds the engine makes, so she is just making sure John is coming back.

Mocha’s looking a little concerned as she realizes I am not going with them in Midgey.

Her hesitation about leaving me behind is soon forgotten as the wind blows through hear hair.

Just a guy and one of his girls driving along. The furry brunette is riding shotgun and the blonde is following in another vehicle.  If you saw this scene humdingin’ down the road, wouldn’t it just make you smile?
