the car show




A typical Saturday it was not.
He left early in the morning to join the parade of classic cars and hot rods filing into Mill Lake Park.

I stayed home in the morning to clean house and once that was finished I brought our picnic right around lunch time.

We have been to many car shows but this was our first official entry and now I can see what folks do there all day.

There is no lack of friendly folks to visit with.


After lunch we left the hood open and did our own walk around the park to see all the cars and do some visiting of our own.



When we got back I said...
"hey look... they put a Winner card on your windshield."

Of all things!


At 2 pm we joined the other car enthusiasts at the stage and sure enough...
there was indeed a trophy coming his way.

His 1950 Merc built over three years...
got a moment of recognition.

I was happy for him.  


Getting kissed by these two sweethearts...
was just icing on the cake.

all for now...
with love,

  1. That's so fantastic! Congratulations on your first entry and win! We didn't make it there this year (my hubby would have loved to be there but he was working and I could not bring myself to hit that heat with two young kids :)

  9. My husband is sitting here dealing with a wave of envy pangs this early morning. He said, "that your Mercury is one amazingly good looking machine!!!" Interestingly, the two of us attended our first car show ever too, this past weekend.
    Congratulations on your award! Smart judges!
