floral park...

rose, christilynn and i were kinda excited about participating for the third year at the floral park antique and vintage show last weekend, but wow!  what a disappointment...not necessarily about the sales, although they were poor, but the conduct of the people...most of which live in that community...when we were packing up!  it was a real bummer while loading our vehicles at the end of a very long day, that some of the vendors were yelling and being mean to other vendors that were just trying their best to be out of the way and packing up their wares...what sucks even more is that a man, a resident of floral park, decided to barge through and hit my mirror and break it!  thanks to rose, a dear friend of mine that litteraly got in front of his car and stopped him because she saw that he broke it!  now, that's a great friend!  i got his info and his wife assured me that they were nice and would "do the right thing" but when my sweet husband called them today, after getting an estimate, they back  peddled big time!  i'm so over people smoozing to your face and walking away and being a kook!!!
i, for sure, will not participate in that show again!!!
on the great side...check out the pictures of our booth...it turned out super cute!














oh yeah...christilynn wanted to show you pretty smile!

spring break with the boys...









spring break was a little hectic, we've had an abundance of breaking down of the cars in our family...
so between switching off cars, we were able to spend some hours at the beach...
that's all we could afford after my van breaking twice, buying the bug and steve's car breaking...yikes!  lots of $$$$
and, then today i got two new tires and an alignment on the van today and another major part was found broken...off to mikes it goes again!!!
back to spring break...
the weather was great and i got to drive my bug!!!  yeah!!!
it was fun watching the teenagers in my life laughing at the car...the loudness, the windows shaking and the non-luxury status...but, it never fails...i always run into someone my age, or around my age that has some kind of great memory with the volkswagon...convertible or not!
i love it and can't wait for the warmer weather...
our teenagers truly don't appreciate the funness of the bug!

happy birthday to me...

well, it's  the big 50 and i've been dreading this one for a very long time, but my sweet husband is trying very hard to make it painless!
he bought me my dream car...a 1978 volkswagen convertible bug, and it's super fun!
we took it to the beach yesterday and it's so much better travelling around with your top down!!!
and,
he's throwing me a big birthday bash on saturday with all of my favorite people in my life...
i'm so blessed to have steve as my husband!
