[/caption]One summer during one of Ellie's hospital stay, almost every time Ben and I would drive home we would see a limousine. Ben was fascinated and it became our habit to search for the limo on the ride home. Sometimes they were longer, sometimes shorter, sometimes white, other times black. Sometimes we would even spot a Hummer stretch limos (what I think of as "manly" limos"). Ben decided he wanted to ride in a limo. My response was similar to many of my responses to Ben's funderful ideas, "Yes! What a fabulous idea we should do that some time." A way to encourage without the commitment.
In December we received our newsletter from Ronald McDonald house. On the back of the newsletter was an ad for a limo ride around Madison to see all the holiday lights, $10 per person, net proceeds to go to Ronald McDonald house. Donus (double bonus. Ellie and I always joked we had to be careful because this sounds like "donuts" and Daddy loves him some donuts!) Ben's wish was going to come true AND we could help contribute to Ronald McDonald House! So the Tuesday after Christmas, we all went on our limo ride (in a manly Hummer limo) and saw the lights around Madison (took about an hour--I love that Madison is both big enough to take an hour and small enough that it only takes an hour!)
