We got the tire and strapped it on and started west and kept going. Mama was very happy and didn't say any more how much the car shook and how bad the gasoline smelted. Mama was a sport and liked life and excitement, and I guess that was why Gramp liked her better than any of the other daughters-in-law.
That night Mama showed us Uncle Peter's gift to her, and I wish I knew where it is now. A pair of garters set with small diamonds that spelled out “Rhine Beer and Lager” must be worth a nice dollar these days.
