A couple of weeks back our town had its annual, obligatory
Back to the Fifties weekend. Those of us of a
certain age never seem to tire of the long lines of old cars lovingly restored, cruising around the Twin Cities for 72 hours. This blast from the past, a pristine, two-tone red & white '50's Mercury Montclair was seen in the parking lot of Perkins where we had our Saturday
baconfest breakfast. Drooling over the tuck and roll upholstery, I spied this little doll, dressed in more red in the style of the era. What's not to love about red in this venue?
Here are some fetching geraniums I snapped in Hyde Park when I worked at the U of Chicago in another lifetime. Incidentally they bloomed in the same graceful neighborhood as the home of the then professor/state legislator Barack Obama.
See more reds from the past and present at Mary's meme,
Ruby Tuesday.
A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.--Bill Vaughan
