A Saturday Afternoon In Downtown Raleigh

Last Saturday afternoon, on an unusually mild August day, Keith & I decided to check out  the Capitol Car Show held along Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.

I enjoy these shows. They're like an art exhibit to me...vehicles with beautifully crafted lines, gorgeous vibrant colors, a few in subdued colors, all shapes & sizes, most polished to perfection. Car restorers, car artists, hover nearby, showing their stuff, proud of their creations.

It's like an art exhibit & an antique show rolled into one.
Many spectators have fond memories of these refurbished cars--they may have owned one similar or have had a friend who had one.
Many may have dreamed of owning one.
A time to dream & admire & appreciate craftsmanship--and to enjoy being downtown.

A nice way to spend an afternoon in Raleigh:)
A little breeze now & then made it even sweeter:)

"The stuff that wears on the nerves polishes the soul."

I am continually being polished.
And I think my friends are in on this too.

A Cloudy Morning....

I woke up this morning, early, on my day off, with a throbbing headache:(
Not a good way to start a day:(
I've dealt with headaches most of my life. Not debilitating ones normally, but ones that stop me from my daily routine.
Medication often helps, but not always.
(I've suffered with migraines as well, but Inderal has taken care of them, thank God!)
Today/this morning--no walk, no Wyatt walk (he's wondering why, staring at me, as I write this), still in pj's, no bed made, wrapped in a light cover on the couch.....
These days Tylenol Extra Strength is supposed to be my friend, but so far--not!
UGH:(
So, HGTV & hot tea are the only things on my agenda for now.


I've added a photo of my favorite flowers below since it's Keith's & my 41st anniversary:)
Happy Anniversary Keith:)
