Vintage Cars - 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air - 1957 Ford Ranchero

Late yesterday afternoon, these two vintage cars drove by and parked in front of City Hall while I was eating ice cream and hanging out with a group of friends. 

We decided to kill some time before heading to the baseball game last night. Which by the way, my hometown team won again, but I digress.

If I am not mistaken, one car is a 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air, and the other one is a 1957 Ford Ranchero. The 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air reminded me of my father, it was his favorite car. I still have a picture of my sister and I, sitting on my father's car when we were little. That car was his pride and joy.

Getting Together For Lunch

Had a conversation yesterday with a former co-worker trying to arrange a day to get together at the health center for lunch.

After exchanging pleasantries, and talking about the job, we agreed to meetup next Monday at 12:30pm for lunch. The phone rang, and it was her to remind me that next Monday is Labor Day, and the health center is closed. Now that I am retired, I don't pay attention to holidays much. We agreed to meetup Friday of next week. But I digress.

To keep my favorite hobby and passion alive, went out for a photo walk last night. It was a beautiful night outside. Was the first time picking up my digital camera in quite some time.

For no particular reason, I chose Broad Street facing City Hall in Center City, which is a favorite wedding photography location for Philadelphia couples. A group of young ladies approached me, said they needed to book a photographer, and inquire my price for a wedding photoshoot. I don't shoot weddings, but have a friend who does so I gave them my friend's contact information.

It felt great to go out on a photo walk. It is a great exercise, it gets me connected to my surroundings, and it gives me something to occupy my mind and stimulate my brain.
