What If?

---

This husband and I…

Took a stroll through Bu-cee’s…seasonal items on display…new things…fun things…couldn’t help but think, “What can they come up with next?”…

And then what to our wondering eyes should we see?…a station…not a sandwich station…or a nut and fudge station…but a tortilla station…a homemade tortilla making station…

And there we stood…enamored…watching that big fancy machine surrounded by plexiglass like two kids watching those robotic Christmas Elves in the 1960s department store windows…

And it was cool…cooler than cool…

“Well I’ll be darn,” said that tortilla loving husband of mine…followed with, “I wonder how much one of these costs”…

And there it was…could see those wheels turning…could almost HEAR those wheels turning…could imagine him imagining…

Not sure what exactly…a backyard factory?…a little tortilla shop?…entrepreneurs us hauling that machine in a trailer becoming popular tortilla street vendors?..

And so it is…in life…reach for the stars…dream your dreams…nothing’s stopping you from saying what if…

Unless it’s your wife…who says gently but loud enough for you to hear… “Ahhhhh, If only we were younger…”
​
And that husband of mine…reluctantly agreed…
