Enjoying some hot rod time

 Weather has been nice!  So, we've been taking some hot rods out (mostly the red truck so far :))

 We made it to Padanaram for dinner one night

 And to Little Compton for breakfast

 We've (Chris) has moved some cars around in the basement garage

 These guys fit under the wheel and make moving the cars so easy!

 The roadster has been updated with a new fan and is ready for a drive!

 Our upstairs garage has been wet and stinky, so we bought a new dehumidifier for the downstairs basement and brought the old one upstairs.  It really made a difference.

 Chris is updating the pickup bed - giving the wood a fresh coat of varnish.  He loves to stay busy and work on his cars!

Another day at the track!

 Chris deserved a day off - so he went racing!  He's raced enough, so now I can ride along :)  It was much more fun being a participant!

The move to FL!

 The day of the move to FL arrived!  A little wet, but not too bad.  It didn't take us too long to load, since there wasn't a lot of stuff going south :)

 The first day we drove from IL to TN and spent the night at my sisters.  Then we left bright & early from her house and drove to FL!  We hit some traffic, so we arrive a little later than we wanted, but we made it safe & sound

 The drive through the mountains is always a treat (for the eyes anyway)

 A toast to our arrival in Sarasota where many new adventure await my mom!

Sailboat Race!

 What a difference a day makes!!  Our first sailboat race of the season - and it was chilly!  We had a brief shower before the race started - but that was all the fresh water we had - the rest of the day we were soaked from the salt water spray!  We raced on our friend Bob's boat.  Since it was a pretty windy, choppy day, I didn't take many photos.  Just these few at the start.

Our boat in in the water!

 They launched out sailboat! 

 All ready for the season! This may be one of our last seasons having a sailboat, so if you want to sail with us, you probably want to visit this summer or fall!

 We winter our boat in Portsmouth, RI, but we keep it on a mooring in Bristol, RI during the summer.  So glad we had a nice day to sail our boat to our summer mooring.

 There was enough wind that we only had to have the jib out and did not have to hoist the main sail.

 Back in Bristol!

 We saw some friends at the yacht club, so had a cocktail at the beach bar and then went to dinner.  Busy day!

Cars & Coffee!

 It was a beautiful Saturday morning, so we took our '41 Pickup to Cars & Coffee in Newport.  Our first hot rod outing of the season!  The venue at 'The Elm's mansion was packed.  Everyone was out and about on this beautiful day

 Bolts was happy to be out. I tried to get a good photo of him in the hubcap.

 It's hard to go to regular car shows when you can come to one of these!  These are short and sweet too - only from 8 am to 10 am.

 We saw a few friends -and then ran into our niece, her husband, and their handsome son.  Bolts still has a crush on Levi and just won't leave him alone.  We were hoping he would get over it as Levi gets older, but it hasn't happened yet

 We stopped at a little cafe in Newport for breakfast.

 Then stopped by the local car museum that were showcasing Ferrari's.  It was getting later in the morning, so most of them had already left.

Takkng a neighbor to dinner

 We have a great neighbor who makes sure our house is looked after while we are away.  We took him out to dinner to thank him.  It had been a rainy day, but the sun did show up eventually!  We drove Dallas' Pontiac, to make it more of an adventure.
