Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.

Like locusts they descend.


How about five C2 convertibles?


Many new faces and new cars (at least new to us) plus the usual suspects.


Through Saline, Bridgewater, Clinton, and Tecumseh we saw neat stuff including some Clydesdales.


We filled the parking lot!


People eating ice cream again.


Yet another peaceful outing.

Ice Cream Run To Tecumseh Family Frosty (07/23/2009)

It all started out so innocently, with the usual accumulation of cars, endless blarney, caravanning and so forth.


No hint here of what was in store. Oh no.

We arrive.  Note the convertible tops are down.


People eating ice cream.


The first heavy downpour of rain fell vertically.


The second downpour fell horizontally


We asked Bob to see if the overhang would keep him dry


It did finally end.

We couldn't get anyone to climb the roof at Stone Mountain to get the pot of gold.

Just another peaceful outing!

For those who have never been on an ice cream run, this is the park in Saline where we start.

Getting ready to go.  I count five cars.  Not very nice weather.


Into the gloom.  The rewards, however, appear to have been worth the trip.  (Smile, guys!)
