We were going to BK and the cruise that afternoon but because the rain was eminent and some of us were tired from guarding the cars all day, we decided to run on home….we had to drive in light rain about half way home and got to dry the hot rods off before we could rest!

Sunday the weather guessers said rain later in the day….so….we arrived at the WAWA in Stafford, VA at 6:15.  I filled up the hot rods with fuel (I feel so good providing the Saudi’s with more of my money so they can thumb their noses at me while I fuel up my cars….NOT!  Please tell me again why we can’t drill for oil here at home….hmmmm….louder please, I can’t hear you very good while I’m eating my spotted owl sandwich….) Anyway….while we were waiting for the others to arrive I noticed the gorgeous red sunrise and told the Princess about the Sailor’s limerick that goes; Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning….red sky at night, sailor’s delight.  She commented with some Princess term like….that’s stupid….then it started raining!  We were going to meet at the WAWA and go to Cracker Barrel in Fredericksburg for breakfast then on to the Fredericksburg Street Rods show at Walker Grant MS.  But while we were droving the hot rods home in the rain we met Dan & Ramona coming to meet us at WAWA.  We all decided to take the hot rods home, dry them off and ride the silver bullet (Dan & Ramona’s silver mini-van) to Cracker Barrel and see how the morning unfolded.   The rain stopped before we were finished with breakfast and the roads were dry….we mobilized again and cruised 18 miles to the show.

We have attended this show many times and always enjoy the day.  It is unfortunate in that about half the events we have attended there have had rain at some point during the day!  The show had 110 cars registered and the quality of the cars was very high.  The restrooms are inside the school so that is never a problem.  The food vendors were kept busy selling their great food and there were other vendors to visit too.  The music is the best….very good play list and great announcements.  The club always has some fun games for all to participate in, both old and young!  This show is this club’s only event all year and the preparation they do for it shows.  It always runs like a machine and they have all the winners drive their cars up to the front to receive their trophy.  This is a cool deal and would work at other shows too….nice touch.  The judging is by participant ballot….the contestants pick the winners.  My favorites were the green ’58 Chevy post and the orange ’68 Mustang.  There were nicer cars but these two woke me up!

Susan & Larry Rao acknowledged that the Princess & I were celebrating our 46th wedding anniversary with them at the show and Larry made a really neat miniature love seat with stuffed bears for us.  He made it out of horseshoes from his Uncle’s farm….it’s a really neat deal!  The Princess said it’s like getting a trophy so she is happy!  Thanks again. 

After the show a few of us ended up at Carlos O’Kelly’s in Stafford to end the day’s festivities and to keep celebrating our Anniversary.  The Princess and I exchanged gifts, I got her a magnificent cosmic reusable bag for her vaccuume cleaner….I thought it was just what she was hinting about when she kept saying the carpet needs vacuuming?  That women code talk is very confusing.  I also got her a Sudoku book and neat mechanical pencil….I told her it would help keep her mind sharp….I thought it would be helpful!  She told me that she enrolled me in a refresher course for sensitivity training for retired people at URINBIGTROUBLE University.  I hope I pass this time….
