Jen called and wanted to meet with me so I could get a key to the new gathering place. She wanted to meet at Hobby Lobby an hour North. I quickly called my baby brothers bride as she likes Hobby Lobby also...poor gal only had about five minutes to get ready! I spent the morning in Hobby Lobby (yes yarn may have been purchased) and the afternoon sitting with my Dad...we watched TV ( Heartland on Netflix) and had a number of naps. Mom was shopping in Fargo North Dakota with cousin Geraldine for a new sewing machine.
I got home about 7:30 luckily I had put steak in the crock pot for steak enchiladas...and I should have taken a photo as they were really good.
I think this might be a 1955 Chevy.
Far Guy joined the local car club...they have cruise nights every Tuesday...so we may give that a whirl next week.

Sounds like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find local car shows for hubby to see, there are a few going on constantly. Now just to get him out of the house!
ReplyDeleteLove that car! LOL on 'some yarn may have been purchased'.
You have had a really busy busy day!
Sweet!

All of a sudden, I can't stop thinking about steaks and crockpots. I've never tried that but I may soon in my future!
ReplyDeleteI love that old car! I remember them when they were all the rage. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun day! There was a very similar old car for sale close to us last year. I tried to get my hubby interested in it. They have monthly car nights not far from us. Alas, he is a truck guy and not into cars :/ I need to find an old Chevy Truck in good condition!
ReplyDeleteThe Cruise Night sounds like a really fun way to enjoy those classic cars, along with friends. I like Hobby Lobby too. I took granddaughter Olivia a few times when she was little and she bragged to her brothers that she got to go to "Jolly Holly".
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful car.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful car - it's obviously well loved and maintained.
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a Hobby Lobby, perhaps I need to make a trip down to North Dakota (Minot is about 4 or 5 hours from here). It will have to wait until fuel prices go much lower...and when I've used up more of my stash. I guess that's not very likely. :)
I think you and FG will enjoy the cruise nights.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you all had a busy day having fun.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day.
ReplyDeleteI sure remember those cars but not often as convertibles.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to bring your SIL with you fun shopping and that you had some time with your dad. Hope your mom loves her new machine.
I like that car, looks bloody nice..........
ReplyDeleteFun! We go to Sonic every Friday. And our car club has a cruise once a month. It's all nice...something different in a good way
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful car! Glad you got to spend some time in one of your favorite stores. More yarn is always a good thing. Steak in a crock pot sounds pretty good too.
ReplyDeleteI do love that 55 Chevy!!! DH had to come and admire it as well.
ReplyDeleteThat is almost a complicated story but I think I did figure it out. Your mom going to Fargo for a new machine was great for her. The Chevy is beautiful.
ReplyDelete50's cars are a favorite of mine as I was in my teens for that age of car. Cars were important for a teenager. As farm kids we got to drive long before we had a driver's license.
ReplyDeleteCruise nights sound like lots of fun. Hope to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteHobby Lobby... a person could wander there for hours. Cruise night sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteI love Hobby Lobby too. Did you make it for the 30% off yarn sale? I'm looking for a fun embroidery project to do and need to see what they have. I'm glad you had company for the road trip and also that you enjoyed time with your Dad.
ReplyDeleteThe car cruising sounds wonderful. I would love to sit on the sidelines watching.
Blessings,
Betsy
What fun! Hobby Lobby, the Gathering Place and a new sewing machine for your Mom. Let us know what kind she gets. Steak in the crockpot and "cruising"? When Winter is over you guys know how to have fun!
