Oh Yea, Life Is Good

Colsyn spent Friday night with us. We got up and headed to the Malden Car Show. It was nippy out and we were not really dressed for the weather.

There are some very nice old cars and hotrods that live in Southeast Mo.

Of course you can tell that this one is nothing like it was when built. All new car.

When I was a drag racing kid these were all over the tracks, and fast.

This t bird belongs to a friend of mine. He has owned it for a long time now.

Always a lot of old tractors here.

Nice daily driver. I like the 17 inch wheels. May do that to our Mustang.

The only other bug present, 79 Super.

Colsyn loves these old Mustangs. There were a couple of 66 s there. My 65 was this color from the factory. Will be a deep blue when we paint it.

Oh yea. Saturday afternoon we had an End of School Party. Here is one of our granddaughters from Nashville, Tn. She is a cutie and works hard to overcome some physical disabilities that she was born with. Alexis was not born into our family but became one of us a couple of days after her birth. She is a precious soul and loves her grandparents.

Here are two of grandpa's boys. They will go anywhere and do about anything as long as they can hang with grandpa.

This is Essie. She too lives in Nashville and is our son's oldest at 9, going to be 10 in August, and going on 15. She loves riding in grandpa's bug.
All of these kids are home schooled and are finished for the summer. It was a big party and we had a great time.
So, just as we settle into being home again, after wintering in the GMC, Teri readies herself to head out again. She is leaving Thursday for Alaska. Her father lived and worked there for 20 years. This is a father daughter trip. Never even a hint of me tagging along. That's ok with me. I don't really care about seeing Alaska. We have way too many places left in the 48 to explore. Teri will be gone for 3 weeks. The grandkids have promised to take care of grandpa and spend the nights here. Colsyn and I have a trip planned in the motorhome, dragging the bug, to Effingham, Il, in a couple of weeks. Big vdub show. That will be lots of fun.
We are now out of flood problems around here. Now the cleaning up for many begins. Ms. and La. will be dealing with it now.
