Old Bottles

On my bookcase I had these two bottles that I got from my great-grandma Bum Bum’s house. One is “Dr. Price’s Delicious Flavoring Extract of True Strawberry” from 1909 I think. The other is “Duchess of Hollywood, Cal.” My grandpa Carl said that one of our relatives actually produced this perfume.

Junkyard Treasures

I know, I know my blog is starting to look like a car catalog…. well the other day may dad and I were driving to my computer class and I saw a car lot with A LOT of cars–and I mean amazing cars (at least a hundred)! I wanted to cry when I saw a Las Vegas Turqouise 1959 Cadillac Sedan Deville sitting in the driveway! (It’s pretty much a twin of my dad’s except his is a Coupe DeVille. ) I was in Heaven! The place was already closed so I made my dad promise to take me there the next day.

So the day after my mom, dad, and I drove over there. The guy who owned the place  was nice and gladly let us walk through his fine collection. I’ve never in my life seen so many old, beat up cars in one place! There was Cadillacs, Impalas, a Nomad, Mustangs, Edsels, cars from the forties, cars with bullet holes, etc. There was also one special 1954 Bel Air StationWagon that I am now in love with. It really cool and pretty rare I think. I was ready to empty my bank account but sadly I did not. As for the ‘59 Caddie the guy isn’t selling it until December.

 

 I’ll take this one…..

Pickin’ Pumpkins

Every year my parents and I pick pumpkins at Cal Poly’s Kellogg Ranch Store. They have a big giant field where they have thousands of pumpkins ready for pickin’!! The farm store even has several kinds of pumkins, squashes, and gourds and also has specialty sodas like Bubble Up…..

More Wanda

Here’s another wanda jackson song I like called “who shot sam?”.

Pomona

My dad and I met up with Eddie last weekend at the Pomona Car Swap Meet. We woke up at like 7:30 am and walked around until 1 0′clock…we were pooped afterwards!

Bob’s Big Boy!

Wow, three car shows in one week! It’s been so much fun! Well today my mom, dad, and I went to our new Bob’s Big Boy in West Covina, where we found out that there’s a car show there every month! Yay! It was pretty cool with all the great cars and old music….they even had a BBB mascot! I was so excited when I saw him! So here’s a few pictures:

Thunderfest 2009

Today my dad and I went to Covina’s annual Thunderfest and Bluesapalooza car show. This was the third time i’ve gone, and my dad’s first time. There were so many cool cars ranging from hot rods, rat rods, drag cars, classics, to super fancy ones plus an entire street of motorcycles. I took about 180 pictures and I’ve narrowed it down to just a few of my favorite cars. This was a very hard task considering all of the awesome cars.

 

 

my grandpa

This weekend my dad and I went over to my grandpa’s to help him move to his new house in Aguanga. While we were at his house I saw this picture of him in his office. It’s of him working at the Museum of Natural History in Los Angeles. (He made the bugs in the picture.)

Driver’s Ed

yay! I FINALLY finished my driver’s ed online! It took forever!…I started it in March and barely finished it on Monday..I probably could’ve had my driver’s license by now, oh well….but I just found out that I have to do behind-the-wheel driver’s training before I can get my permit…
