Aunt Margaret’s house…

One item on the kids list for summer camp was to go to Aunt Margaret’s house.

They love to swim and make cookies!

My sweet daddy with my babies.

Then, on their way home…

Dad can find any car show in a 50 mile radius.

Did I ever tell you that my dad collected VW Bugs growing up?

Yes, I said collected.

We had 8 at one time. My favorite was this color red.

Can you believe I found that picture? Yeah, me either!

This was dad’s 1966 VW Bug. I think I was in 5th grade?

We drove it in the 4th of July Parade that year… (yup, that’s me in the back seat).

My other favorite VW Bug was a yellow lemon convertible. We drove to the YMCA to go swimming in that one. Good times.

Happy Tuesdays my friends!

    Didn’t know that about your dad! My dad likes vintage cars, too, but he is partial to Corvettes and has never (yet) owned one.
    My parents went to the 4th of July parade yesterday but were disappointed it was downsized this year. Isn’t it good to know some childhood traditions haven’t gone by the wayside quite yet?
    Love you,

    Okay, I can’t stand it; can the kids come back right now?
    Missing all my babies. You and B included. Your father needs more willing participants for his adventures. Today he is speaking on the Great Awakening in a special community presentation.
