LOL! I can't believe they laughed at the bank robber! I guess they knew he was harmless, thank goodness.

Howdy, Coteblanche! Now that's a picture worth framing in gold! LOVE IT!

Ok, while supper cooks, I thought I'd let y'all know how things went at the Cruise-in our car club sponsored this oast weekend.
The weather couldn't have been finer, sunny and warm, and this brought out the crowds in droves. Lots of FINE autos were shown, some classics, some newer, but all beautiful.

We as a club, had decided to help out the troops in some way and the final decision was to help out the families of our local National Guard. With the men and women of the unit deployed, their families can use a little help with bills. So we set up a table to take donations from folks who showed up that afternoon and took in around $750. We'll do this at all our cruise-ins and our car show as long as the war lasts. Our little contribution of support for our troops.

Here's a shot of some of the cars shown Sat. afternoon:

Our '63 Plymouth Sport Fury....I like this little sweetie a lot!

My hubby snuck a shot of me standing by the table we'd set up for donations. Too bad the pattern on the table cloth isn't more evident....it's American flags and eagles:

I wasn't kidding about my poodle skirt and saddle shoes! LOL!! That large white thing hanging around my neck was a credential holder, and in it I had a slip of paper with the names of all my pen pals overseas typed in red and blue. They had to be represented, y'know? *grin*

Perfect timing. Got this done and supper is ready. Be back shortly.

Howdy, Yankeedame! Thank you for the comic strip - I always look forward to the next post - I hate not knowing what happens next. LOL! Yep, I'm one of those who will read the ending of a story just to know who lives or dies or who ends up with whom. LOL!
