Had Better Weeks But Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

In Richmond for a doctor's appointment with Jackson this week, went for a late lunch afterwards and ended up near some of our distributors (not the finest of Richmond's old neighborhoods). While heading for Buz and Ned's BBQ joint (http://www.buzandneds.com/) we saw a used car lot. Circled back and found some old classics; cars you just do not seem to find on the streets everyday.
Nice MGA
Datsun S-2000; many people do not remember this economy sports car Datsun produced in the late 60's. Many people reading this do not know who Datsun is...................................
And Jackson sitting in a Lotus Esprit S4; first one of these I have ever seen. The S4 version had increased horsepower and a rear wing. Very Italian looking, not British at all. Hard to get that smile of Jackson's face; did not stop grinning until he sat in his Honda CRV, then reality set back in.
Oh, and the awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww? Yes our grandchildren were in town for the NC Seafood Festival last weekend. Cooper had his throttle wired to the floorboard and Keelyn stared at me a lot, and a good time was had by all. We spent a lot of Saturday downtown at the festival, along with 100,000 others; then the kids went back down at night to see Sister Hazel. I heard the audience singalongs were a little lacking; maybe next time they can use a karaoke screen behind them? Pictured below: Keelyn being very excited to see her Cappy!
She is pretty isn't she? Lucky she looks like her sweet Mama. Notice the earrings?
FO is coming down to fish Saturday, getting closer to the Pony Express kickoff at church in a couple of weeks, busy busy busy.
Taking Dink to Rocky Mount Wednesday to pick out a tombstone. What do you want on your tombstone? Want to meet us there? Should be fun

Ah yes the tombstone. Since our grandparents are buried on the adjoining lot on the same side with RILEY already on their stone....I suggest we get the guy to chisel in an arrow pointing right to where Daddy is buried. He would like that I think, but Dink might not.
