    Shiny Faces in the Hood

    I love old things.  Some go by the definition of antique, some vintage and others classic.  I like antique furniture, vintage linens and especially old people.  These are they that have endured the hazards of tangible existence and survived to be admired and loved by a new generation.  They have a history. Then there’s classic cars.  It’s not something that I have been able to collect, but I do so admire them.  My way of taking them home comes in the form of photos.  While the cars may not be wearing their original factory color, the restored models are bright and shiny and, well…classic and cool!  It’s kind of like a whole body make-over!  While attending a classic car show in Del Mar, I found myself particularly interested in the front of the cars.  They looked like faces – headlights were the eyes, the hood ornament the nose and the grill the smile.  And smiling was what it looked like to me!  Can you see it?       If I looked this good at their age, I’d smile too!  Here’s to becoming a beautiful vintage person.  I am not, however, getting a grill!

Home...where you can always find warm words on a cold day.
