Yeah, rain at car shows kinda sucks. Been there, done that. Not too enjoyable.



Maybe your paint is so slick the dirt just flies off when driving.

Had a fun day in Sedona today. Had a nice breakfast here at the resort, then went to some art show (not my thing), then went to the Sedona Wine Festival. Drank lots of good stuff and bought a good cigar for the evening. Then we walked the shops on the main drag (not my thing) where I got to check out a Nikon D7100. I want one bad!

We came back to the resort, had dinner, then walked around some more. Even walked up to this real neat shop full of neat artsy stuff. I will TRY to snap a photo of the place as we drive by tomorrow. The skies are so clear and dark here I was able to see the Milky Way. It's even a bit too bright where we live to see it.

Only shot 10 "driving" photos today. I'm not into taking pics of crowds. Just not my thing.





I moved the camera on this one. However, if you look to the left, you can see the Foghorn Leghorn statue (below the no u-turn sign) at that neat shop.


Moved the camera again. :(







The traffic jam starts here. Still about a mile to Rt 89A.







Taking a ride on the Verde Canyon Train tomorrow. If I sit in a good seat, I'll try to shoot some good stuff.

Had some more wine and a cigar while sitting on our porch. The sky is beautiful, and the temps are in the 60's. I am so relaxed and chill right now. Life is good.

Pictures are so pretty, I need to take a trip there. You all must have had fun!

Welcome to the group. Yes, some younger, some older, but we all love our cars and meeting other owners.

Welcome Led Boots. You aren't too young for this crowd. I think we have a few younger than you that hang around here now and then. Heck, I'm not even the oldest one here in spite of how ancient my kids think their old man is!
Jay, get well soon!

Home again with a too full tummy. My mother-in-law cannot resist the urge to cook.

Daddy was okay today but it is so sad to see him declining. He always loved to read, just about anything. Now he looks at magazine pictures & struggles to read the captions or titles, is very confused by the pics he sees, & then will go back & do the same thing again in 5 min. Dad had a small Gene Autry Guitar that hs played with as a boy. (I have it somewhere but it is in bad shape). We have a pic of him with it slung over his sholder with a cowboy hat on at maybe 12-14 years old. He saw a pic of Gene Autry in a magazine today & said why does he look so young. He has got to be 80 years old. I just let that one alone. Couldn't think of anything to say. Here is a pic of the sunset as we were leaving his assisted living facility:
Hang in there Jan. I know it's tough, but enjoy every minute and just know you are doing your best!
