Saturday was very hot and humid so we took in a movie in air conditioned comfort.
We liked the first Nanny McPhee movie and this one is as good or better. It was a great deal of fun.
On Sunday we went to a National Micro- and Mini-Car show up in Crystal Lake, IL. (about a 90 mile drive for us). Here several owners are giving rides around the parking lot to children.
By not going up on Friday or Saturday, we missed some awesome and rare vehicles. I was content with the cool things we saw for those who lingered for Sunday (and the weather was
much nicer). The car on the right is based on a motorcycle--it sits tilted like that.
We spent a couple of hours wandering amongst the cars and marveling at them. Almost all are European--not to many U.S. mini-cars. There really is a bed in the back of the trailer. I have no idea where your feet would go!
Sadly, they weren't selling ice cream. I grew up with Good Humor trucks winding their way slowly though neighborhoods, selling ice cream bars.

What great little cars! I saw a messerschmidt bubble car driving along the road the other day! :)
I once went from Derbyshire to London in one, not a comfortable ride.
Looks like fun!
I love your profile photo -- I've been thinking of trying some line drawings in black embroidery . . . now I know it's a good idea!
