Went to the flea market last Saturday

 God gave us a gorgeous day.  We got to visit with friends and came home with three dozen farm eggs.

There was something going on at the Acadiana Speedway in Breaux Bridge when we passed in the morning;  but we were on our way to Hammond, so we didn't stop. 

Coming back home, it was obvious there was some sort of race Saturday as the place was packed!

Going by a restaurant we had thought about having lunch at, their parking lot was pretty full, too. We don't do waiting so well any more, so we didn't stop exactly, and we didn't get out; but I did take a few pictures.

You all be safe and God bless.

Almost the last quarter of the year.

So I guess I should do a post.

Yesterday we went to a little car show held at a nursing home. Hot dog donations went to a local soup kitchen. I believe if you click on them they will get bigger.

To me, the corvette was out of place with all the other cars there, but I imagine some of the kids probably enjoyed seeing it.

This is one of two cars there that had "suicide doors".

There were quite a few neat cars and trucks there.

All in all, it was a nice little stop.

God bless.

A little about last Saturday.

We went to a car show. Well, I wanted to go. Hubby didn't want to stay long. Boo. But it was for a good cause. The CENLA Food Bank. I have supported the Food Bank ever since the younger boys made heavy use of the one that opened in Havelock, NC, after we moved. When we retired, they stayed. Anyway. That is a long story that I don't remember going into and won't; other than we were proud of them and I am thankful to God for answering my prayers.

While hubby was surprisingly not into waiting for all the cars to arrive (we left barely 15 minutes or so after it started), I did get a few pictures.

I should practice taking pictures. Anyway. Ratrod, as they are called, I believe.

Some corvettes.

The red corvette in the middle had a Former POW license plate. I wasn't able to meet him and thank him for his service.

This is a weird little car called a Silvia. I know, I forgot to take a picture of the car; but trust me, the engine was the best looking thing about it!

Viper.

GT.

Chevelle SS.

I didn't get a good picture of this truck, but I didn't try. It had one of those real loud engines. With what I think used to be called a Fart Pipe? It didn't run worth a plugged nickel. Well, I should correct that. The engine ran. Sort of. It would kind of go forward. It didn't back up worth a plugged nickel and kept dying. It was brought in on a trailer. 'nough said. ;-)

A member or former member of the Fire Department had a mini-Munster type car.

Now my favorite of all the cars there, was this gorgeous Chevy.

And my second favorite was that black corvette at the bottom of that first set of 5. If I hadn't gotten out of the way of that dumb truck, I would never have seen this.

I don't know who the young man was, but I thank him for his service and I hope the Good Lord comforts all who knew him.

I managed to get a quick shot of one of the El Caminos that came in as we were getting ready to leave. Hubby was already in our van with the engine running so I didn't have time for another try.

That was pretty much the highlight of our weekend. Hubby has been feeling better, so he has been doing more yard work and such. For which I am very grateful.
Oh, our tax person called also. We got a refund this year. In part because we took a loss on the sale of our house, and because the government took such a big chunk of hubby's savings plan when he cashed it out. Another time to be thankful. I was afraid we'd be paying a big chunk this year, but we were blessed.

Take care and God bless. ♥
