A Memory A Day

Yellow School Bus

Getting out of Montreal for the summer vacation was important to my parents. Before we bought a place in Vermont, and before any of the kids had a license, Dad would rent a yellow school bus with a driver and we’d load our stuff and pile in. It was fun. Mum had to scavenge grocery shopping rides all summer with neighbors. She didn’t drive. Dad found lifts into the city for the work week and returned weekends. The yellow bus showed up at the end of the summer to take us back to Montreal.
