Just for fun

A few weeks ago my brother and sister-in law had their 50th wedding anniversary. For fun my wife and I fired up the Olds took them on a trip down memory lane. We donned some 50's garb, rolled a pack of Camels up in my tee shirt sleeve and did the sights around Chico Ca. Been a long time since I laughed that hard. It brought back a lot of memories of our high school times. My stepdaughter took a pile of pictures of the day, here are a few.

So glad you were able to relive those dreams. Grab 'em while you can. Pass along a Well Done and Hearty Congratulations to your bro and sister in law for 50 great years! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. Only reason my hair isn't the same color as yours is cause my wife keeps putting color in it!!

Great pics and story, thx for sharing. Now get off the computer and go help ring in a "Happy New Year".

Wow - real neat. BTW, did I see your car at the Nationals? I have a picture (shown below) that looks remarkably similar to your car.

Man that car look great. Times like this are the best of times for old car owners. You can't live in the past but it sure is fun to visit.

I thought that was your car! I did several walks around the show grounds and your car was one of my favorites so I took a picture. Accordingly, your now pops up every once in awhile on my screen saver!

By the way, Tedd, I PM'd you about an unrelated subject (you said "Me and this computer don't always get along and I often have problems posting pictures," so I figure maybe you might not notice the little PM message).

Once again, great pictures, and congratulations to your brother and sister-in-law!
