Back in Time

While we were in St. Pete last month, we happened across an old Volkswagen show at Ft. DeSoto.  Here are some of the more interesting ones.

Who doesn't love Krispy Kreme doughnuts?  Yum!


It's 2 p.m.  Do you know where your children are?


Move over Smart Cars - Volkswagen is here.


It's Party Time!

These and many more were on display in the parking lot of one of the Ft. DeSoto picnic areas.  People were selling/swapping parts, cooking and eating.  This puts a whole new spin on tailgating.

Quote of the Week

There are very few monsters who warrant the fear we have of them.  - Andre Gide


Taken at the Como Zoo in St. Paul, MN

Like the snake, many things are not nearly as bad as we give them credit for being.  Taking a closer and objective look at our fears may help us to slay the monsters behind them.
