I am having a terrible problem with Blogger this afternoon! I don't have too much time just now but wanted to post a few pictures from yesterday. Bill took me to the little town of Wyandot, Michigan this weekend. We stayed at the sweetest Bed and Breakfast and had such a good time.
Yesterday we went to Dearborn and the Henry Ford Museum. Here are just a few photos...
Now, just why are you getting to see these particular photos first? Well, I am sharing "weird, goofball" photos with my blog friends. You see, I was having the best time all weekend taking pictures.
A window here, a car there. A chandelier there, a neon sign here. One particular woman seemed to be all too interested in what I was doing most of the day. I decided not to let her stares bother me, after all, I am 51 now and old enough to do what I want...nanny, nanny boo boo!
Not too long before we left the museum, Bill went back to look at one last thing. It was then this lovely dear approached me. With sneer firmly in place she sauntered up and gleefully gasped, "Just what do you think you are doing taking pictures of windows and lighting fixtures?"
"Gee", said I.
"I really doubt that it is unlawful!" "Well, funny lady, it may not be unlawful but it surely is weird. You must be quite a goof ball." "Um, well, uh...huh?"
She started to walk away, looked back once more, gazed up and down at me and sputtered over her shoulder, "Sheesh. It takes all kinds!"
So, I thought I would share with you the odd ball photos that Susie Q likes to snap...you know, it takes all kinds!
More terribly kooky and strange photos to come!
I hope you are all having a wonderful day!
Another of the 4 pretty guest rooms.
Our room...we had a small sitting area, huge bathroom and a powder room. A little fireplace, A bottle of sherry and crystal glasses, nice window views, television and a DVD player. We also had a BIG walk in shower AND a claw foot tub! Now that was Heaven!
While we were at dinner (at Portofino's On The Lake and oh wow! Was it delicious!) our bed was turned down, the fireplace turned on and dark chocolates were resting on our pillows.
Here are a few more pictures from The Henry Ford Museum
Any school child in the 50s and early 60s will remember class rooms like this as well as the chalkboard instructions! "Okay children..duck and cover!" Uh huh. This was going to save us from nuclear annihilation!
Abraham Lincoln's rocker from Ford's Theater.
Anyone as old as I am remembers gas station rest rooms like this...and gas stations with full service too. "Wash your windows Ma'am? Check your oil?"
I loved this letter from Clyde Barrow to Henry Ford. "...my business hasn't been strictly legal..."
And if you have to ask who Clyde Barrow is...well...do NOT tell me. I am already feeling my age today!
The limousine in which JFK was assassinated.
The Montgomery, Alabama transit bus in which Rosa Parks made her courageous stand.
Oh yes, the original weinermobile. "Oh I wish I was an Oscar Mayer...."
Okay, so these neon signs take me back a few years. I KNOW I am old!
Loved this actual diner...and yes you young whippersnappers! I have eaten in such places!! Quit reminding me how old I am!
And no, I did not KNOW Thomas A. Edison in person...ha ha. You are SO funny!
It was such a sweet weekend and Bill and I really enjoyed getting away together. Thank you for sharing our weekend with us through these pictures...goofball and otherwise!
