On Sat I was due to work, and although I had no appointments for the day, I was expected in the office to help with phone coverage. Fortunately it was slow and we had more than enough people to handle the office so I ducked out for about 1.5 hours so Spouse & I could go to the gay car club's annual car show. The weather was perfect for it.
Many of the vehicles we'd seen before at past car shows, but I did note 3 beautiful additions to share:
This is a gorgeous 1955 (I think) Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon, in sea foam green with an ivory roof. Such a beautiful car!
This is a mid-to-late 50s DeSoto Firedome convertible. Love the powder pink and ivory color combo! Its difficult to read in this photo but the license plate reads BEBUTCH.
This is a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville. Notice how the up-sweeping rear fins are similar to those on my 1959 Cadillac. Same goes for the wrap around windshield.
That evening we met Steven & Thad, Bob, and Joe P for dinner at 1776 Steakhouse, a high-end steak restaurant, to celebrate Steven's birthday and Steven & Thad's anniversary. I had the same thing I've had several other times, the filet mignon trio. I absolutely love it! After dinner we had celebratory cake.
Then I went to the Blue Moon to perform in the Legends shows. I was Neil Diamond and sang "Cracklin' Rosie", "I Am I Said", "Sweet Caroline", and "Brother Love's Travelin' Salvation Show". Our part-time neighbors Mark & Norman were there for the show, and Steven & Thad and Spouse showed up just before the finale song. After I changed into my civilian clothes we walked over to Cooter Brown's where a big group of guys from the Bear Weekend had congregated. We had a drink, chatted with friends and met some new friends. The weather was dreamy outside so it was a great night to be "out on the town".
Sun was the complete opposite of Sat. The weather was rainy/stormy and Spouse didn't feel like going to breakfast, which we do nearly every Sun. So we stayed home, had coffee and left over cake, and watched several episodes of "Shameless". We literally didn't do a single constructive thing all day. Then about 5:30 we met Steven & Thad at a diner for an easy/cheap dinner, then back home for more "Shameless".
