Where are we today ? 
 clic a pic to enlarge it
           Just another wonderful day enjoying this weather. Summer  heat came back again. Did get a few nice walkabouts this morning around the campground in the fog and down the road.
we do have very warm foggy morning
           Down the road to check out the culvert construction and looks wonderful all done except for paving the road,.
they sure did a wonderful job
now the road is usuable again
another foggy sunrise
   Then home by 8:30 my plan today was to make a pot of 15 Bean soup for tonights dart banquet. The turkey was done yesterday and reheated this afternoon, We do love this soup. Ingredients below plus the huge smoked pork hock that was boiled right in with the beans for a few hours.
this be the stuff and thanking to Joe for loaning me the large soup pot
     One trip down to the clubhouse I was walking in the front door and startled by this dove on the railing right beside me. It did not move , I set down my soup pot and took a picture, this was too cool.
     Then at noon I walked over to the conservation area (Rock Glen Falls) across the road to check out the car show today.  Always nice to check out the old classic cars especially when they are right across the road from us. Free admission today so why not?
the river just before it goes over the falls
        I enjoyed walking the trails and walkways back to the clearing where the car show is.
        Back in the clearing they have the cruising music playing and about 65 cars showed up today, on a nice hot summer Saturday afternoon.
nice 57 chevy
57 ford Fairlane
a cool RAT rod  with a Jaguar V12 in it
'52 MG
nice ' 73 dodge per wagon

lotsa chrome on this engine

drawings of your vehicles
this was toady's  amazing weather
     Now back home to relax in the shade reading , a perfect day for it.
what an awesome day it is
      A bit later this lady (can't remember her name) came by walking her puppies and stoped to give Suzie a doggie fix and they get a nice ear rub.
I got a walk by the pond and noticed the Lily pad and flower are gigantic !
     Then at  5 pm time to head down to the club house for a social hour with all the dart players over the summer. About 30 of us there and the dart club supplies the meat  ( 2 turkeys and 2 hams) I cooked one turkey and Kim and Mke the other one. The rest of the food pot luck.
mostly evryone  here now
     Nellie, Joe and Jane  chatting with the phone.
          Then time to dig in I started with some salad and soup stuff.
then some turkey ,fresh cranberries gravy and more
then desert mini cheesecakes Dorothy made were awesome
      Next Gerry handed out cash prizes for the season, Suzie came in 3rd for highest out,12 bucks. Me I got 5 bucks just because I was there LOL...    No matter we all play darts for the fellowship and fun  times then at the end of the season a banquet social.
We had an amazing meal and good times
thanks to al who contributed
     Back home by 7:30 enjoying more of the very warm weather. Relaxing outside reading finishing this posting until 9 pm, Still 69F out side and no bugs, gotta love it. But time to call it a night inside to relax a bit more and soon call it a night.

  1. Still pretty busy at the Glen. The cars are always a treat the labor and expense to restore and maintain is a dedication I do not have. My motto has been 'Chrome won't get you home', but my gosh it sure looks great!

    1. Still a bit busy while the weather is nice. You are right about the cars, a lot of time and money in them, your right about the chrome but it sure does look nice.
