Open Road

Caught this gorgeous car on the road this weekend (George called it a Corvette. I call it a sexy, white convertible). It was rainy and cloudy for most of the time we were in Minneapolis, but this cute couple was not deterred. Don't you love that smiley face on the trunk? I would be smiling too if I looked that hot.

As I'm writing, I remembered another amazing car we saw in the parking lot at the hardware store. It was sitting there among the minivans and beaters looking like a million bucks. It stopped everyone in their tracks and we all stood around oohing and aahing. It's the same car, and it IS a Corvette. I. Want. One.

Road Trip

I am not a country girl by any means but I love getting away and discovering people and places that are practically right under our noses. Have car will travel! My co-worker posted a notice about her parents antique shop in Rushville, MO called Treasures at the Y. And that was all the excuse I needed to get out of town. I found a pair of milk glass vases, some blue and white chevron fabric and red and white floral fabric while George picked up a Rallye matchbox car that he was ecstatic about. We drove through pot-holed country roads, passed by homes with confederate flags (okay, one home), got chased by a chihuahua and raced a train. It was a beautiful, rainy day and I can't wait to do it again.
