Okay, It is my turn to take over again...

This was an INCREDIBLE  journey from start to finish and what made it the best was being with my best friend, my husband.  He was so kind to step in and blog for me when I would literally drop off asleep in the middle of sentences while talking BEFORE  I even got to the blog portion of the evening.  He drove some of my miles when I just could not and he made me laugh as he tried out his "new" material (jokes) on me as we drove.  I really do love you, even if your first love was a Toyota and not me.

Secondly, it was the people we travelled with that made it INTERESTING.  First, it was Cheryl and Don at our first stop in Las Vegas; then it was Martha and Bob who went the whole distance (if you guys by chance find this blog EMAIL ME); my parents meeting us in Birmingham was delightful; the fact that the staff at the Doubletree Hotel were sorry to see us go; meeting up and laughing with Chris and Angela Billings and Craig and Amy Beckley from our home club; and  all the Aussies we enjoyed time with: Gordon, Darryl, Robin, and Colleen and the two blokes who bravely bought a vintage pony in CA and drove it cross country.

I am sure Jeff mentioned some of this in his previous blogs; but, I just want to say THANK YOU ALL!! You made this so memorable.

To Mustang One thank YOU for organizing us and getting us to Birmingham.  We'll give you a pass on Bossier City, just once!  I was sincere in my offer of help with the 50th run...I learned that the Holiday Inn Expresses are absolutely delightful!

Now that our girl has returned to grocery and Starbucks runs, she is preparing for our own car show here in Suisun City.  This ain't no small potatoes show, even if we are on display only.  The chairs of the show have worked hard to get us to 140 cars and ours will make it 141!  I will be writing a press release for Board approval later this week so that we have our community come out and see all the beautiful cars, enjoy the weather, support the Matt Garcia Foundation and admire our Participant Award from the 45th MCA Show.  (OOPS it slipped in.)

Finally, for all who are getting magazines this month, the outstanding ad for the 2010 Mustang ...the two people standing next to the vintage Mach are none other than our club president Bill Watkins and Boardmember Sue Calvert!  The Golden Hills Mustang Club is EVERYWHERE!  

Okay, I need to check out the IKEA superhero as he gives me more shelving space in our office for my business....until next time....Larissa
