           Back in November 2013 we were camped here with good friends Rob and Pat Aljoe and while here Rob and I went to visit Darryl Starrbird's  Custom National Rod and Custom car Museum  museum together. We enjoyed all the custom cars and Darryl was actually here , gave us a personal tour of his shop and autographed a book that Rob purchased. You can read that posting HERE . Well it's been a few years and I wanted to go back again to check out whats new there, always more new cars. Suzie not interested, too boring for her and nothing else she would like to do.

     Back home for the afternoon and we can enjoy this wonderful warm sunny day, Only 54f but nit much wind and full sunny skies, this is wonderful . Enjoying some fresh air and reading outside in the sun.
a very nice sunny day to be outside
While reading outside Bella found us again and came by for a visit.
she wanted a rub and Suzie took care of that
we gave her a treat just because we had some
   Enjoy a nice Happy hour while our Ribs were cooking on the grill in sauerkraut like we do. You can check that recipe on my recipe blog top right side bar.
     Added a small can go creamed corn for Suzie, (not for me) and glazed the ribs on our grill mat.
they came out perfectly


yes this was very tasty and hit the spot
    Then to reading outside for a while still pretty comfortable until about 7:30  , caught a nice sunset then inside to wrap up this posting. And watch the tube for a bit before calling it a night.
another nice sunset
     No we are not in a hurry to get back home. This picture below SIL Sandy sent us this morning, This is what they woke up to. We will be parking back by that round building for a bit when we get back.

  2. Great selection of custom cars. Looks like a day well spent to me! A perfect day here for all the Spring Break kids, you might consider returning southwest instead of north east into the snow. Nah - family awaits!

  3. There is no way I could get up as early as you do unless I did not go to bed. Those are great looking cars.

    Bella is such a cute dog.

    When will I learn not to read your blog when I am hungry?

    1. Thanks guys, I don't feel any older, but 50 lbs lighter sure helps. No rush to get home the snow should be gone by then, we hope ! The ribs sure were tasty.

  9. We also enjoyed that Museum, it would be nice to go back in a few years again. Donna is a very nice lady, we didn't meet Daryl.
    Nice sunny days and for sure no rush to get home. They got dumped on in our neck of the woods back home too, although double digits should melt some!
    No wonder Bella comes back, such a pretty dog, she loves the treats and attention. :)

    1. It is an amazing museum, I just have to keep going back. And chatting with Darryl twice now was a real treat. Don't wait too many years he is getting up there.
      Bella is a sweetie.
