Sun day, Fun day, Car day

This Sunday my husband and I drove out to the Copperstate VW show in the West Valley. Like way west. Not just west of Scottsdale Road, but west of Central, and then west of I-17, and even further west - 107th Avenue. (West Siiiiiiide) ;)

My husband had lovingly restored this 1959 VW Oval Window bug for me. Striping it all the way down - a "pan-off" restoration. We went back and forth about what color the car should be and finally settled on what it had been originally born with, light coral red.

It was a great decision! A perfect color! The car was meticulously restored... all original... all stock.

It's a show stopper.

It's been featured in a magazine. She was the centerfold! (and so was I!) Although, she was the focus. *sigh*

My husband absolutely loves these car shows and spends hours walking, talking and living Volkswagens. Now, he can talk just about ANY car, but German cars are his forte.

Though, now he also owns an American classic, too. A 1962 Buick La Sabre.

Have I mentioned we have... EIGHT cars?! ...and a THREE car garage? Do the math. ;)


I was completely mesmerized by this cute little man in a bright blue jacket eating a chilly bright blue snow cone. His mom was lovingly scooping out tiny man bites for her precious child reminding him not to eat it too fast or he'd get brain freeze. I remember TRYING to get brain freeze when I was young simply because the thought of my brain - frozen - was just about the coolest thing I could think of to do.

Then, I watched Indiana Jones, " ," -- the one where they ate the frozen monkey brains... and I decided it wasn't so cool to get brain freeze. Well, that, and it hurts!

I digress. As I watched this cute little man being fed lovingly by his mother, I started to wonder what he worried about. What weighed heavy on his mind today? What flavor of snow cone to get?
