Eating and Thrifting

We started the day at JoAnn's Fabrics (Donna, Susan and I), so Susan could get a new pillow form for a great cat pillow she found while out "picking" awhile ago. I took out the stitching and the ancient stuffing last night, inserted the new form and stitched it back up when we got home after our day's adventures--picture coming tomorrow!
By 11:00 a.m. we were hungry, so Susan suggested the Hungry Shark in Coos Bay. Very good.


We really had good luck at the thrift stores--four or five of them. While Susan and I were in a consignment shop, Cary spotted this Mustang and borrowed Susan's camera. He will explain his reasons here:
 this felt like a sceen from American Grafitti, where Suzanne Summers kept appearing in the T-bird. This is a '66 Mustang outfitted to look like the Hertz rental racers.  Hertz didn't intend for them to be rented racers, but that was what they became. This one was spot on with just a couple of exceptions. Overall it was very nicely done.I could see myself cruising Tucson in it.  

Susan took me by this great mural, recently painted by a local man.

When the sun comes out tomorrow I plan to take a few pictures of our treasures (you know you are curious)! Great day--thank you, Susan. And thanks to your cousin in Oklahoma for lunch!
