Aunt Emma and the Silver Bullet
While on a recent evening walk, I happened across a camping trailer in a backyard. It was silver, with rounded edges. It looked like a big bullet with windows and a trailer hitch. Immediately, I recalled a larger version of such a trailer from when I was a little girl. Our beloved neighbor Elsie shared her rural home with her husband and elderly mother, and her aunt Emma lived in a silver bullet-type mobile home behind the house (or at least that's how I recall the trailer in my mind's eye). I was never in that mobile home, but I was always fascinated by how it looked. There was something sleek about it. It's funny how a brief glance at something had the ability to take me back some 50 years -- even for just a moment -- to Aunt Emma's amazing silver bullet.
