THE HAPPY COUPLE

Chelsey & Bracken are now living their 'happily ever after'!  We still have an Open House to prepare and pull off this week, so more pics will come later. We also still have to get all the pics the photographers have taken.




The beautiful Logan Temple.





Who is this handsome young man?

COINCIDENCE?...I THINK NOT

Many of my faithful followers may remember my family's Lindsay Limo, from the first 16 years of my life. It was well known far & wide, and we have many fond memories of the limo. Since I was the youngest of six kids, I usually got stuck laying across the back window, like a cat, even though there was plenty of room, what with the trundle seats and all. Driving down the freeway in LA, we got quite a few stares since we were mistaken for celebrities, so we just smiled and waved.

I remember getting my thumb slammed in the amazingly heavy car door. I'm suprised I still have that digit intact. My favorite memory is my sister, Lisa, driving to high school in it. Once when she drove Donna & me home from school, we sat in the back like we were being chauffered, as usual. When Lisa took the shortcut home, by the railroad tracks, she cut the corner too close and the back 'wing' hit the railroad sign. We were all a little freaked that we had knocked off the wing, but were laughing too hard to care.

All these memories came flooding back as I pushed my Walmart cart to my car yesterday, and, as fate would have it, this Caddie was just pulling into the space right next to me. It was a little pimped out and driven by some nice looking people with tattoos and tank tops, so I started up a conversation with them as they exited the vintage beauty. The gentleman informed me it was a '62, ours was a '59 or '60 I think, but they didn't change the look of cars that often back then. I asked permission to take pictures of the gem, and he was happy to oblidge. I just wish I could have got the happy couple in the shot. So, for those of you who remember 'THE LIMO' this may trigger some memories...

Mind you, this one was 10 feet shorter, since it wasn't a limo.

Sadly, our limo lacked the fuzzy leopard interior & detailing.
 These pics were taken with my phone, so they don't quite do it justice. So if you're driving around LA, or anywhere for that matter, and 'coincidentally' run across an old Caddie Limo, think of the Lindsay Limo fondly.

HOW MANY KLEENEX WOULD A WOODCHUCK CHUCK...?

I thought I'd change up the font, since I'm laying around bored, whilst I blow my nose for the millionth time today. Okay, not millionth, that was yesterday. Today is just half a box of Kleenex. This is the kind of cold that is good for those lotiony Kleenex, since they save the skin on my nose. Besides the being sick thing, I've also grown a giant zit on my chin! Some might consider this gross, but in my warped way I think of it as a compliment. My body thinks I'm still young enough to need zits!!! How's that for a 'bluebird of happiness' answer?

I still need to find a dress to wear to 'The Schnoog's' wedding. I've already forgotten if I mentioned in my last post that I tried to repurose the last dress, since it's the right color. I cut it up and tried to make an easy peezy skirt out of it, but the sewing machine decided to make groaning noises and eat the fabric. I'll try feeding the thing some oil later, but I'm not sure about saving the skirt/dress.
