New life for the sinking ship

Those who have followed this blog for a while know that this is the famous sinking ship. It's been half-sunk for years. But a few months ago, it really did begin to sink! So, the powers-that-be arranged to have it bailed out and fixed up and now it has been transformed into its former glory - it is sinking, but not really, in Lake Sumter.

A nice evening for people watching...

...and it sure beats sitting home watching television!

The Little White Cloud That Cried

Some of you may be old enough to remember the singer, Johnny Ray.  One of his biggest hits was the song, "The Little White Cloud That Cried."  Here is a video of Johnny Ray singing what became his signature song.  It was one of my favorite songs at the time - 1951!

Our second car was a 1950 Plymouth couple, dark green, with wood-grain interior. It looked much like this one.
